Volunteer project to arrange the Freer moth collection into taxonomic order

Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic we are currently restricted as to the volunteer opportunities we are able to provide until further notice.

The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery is supported by an amazing group of dedicated volunteers. Whether it’s organising fossils, digitising watercolour paintings or engaging visitors with fascinating objects, there are a wealth of unique opportunities to support our collections and events. If you’re interested in becoming a part of our story, get in touch or check this page for any available opportunities. We are only able to offer volunteer work to people aged 18 or over.
