(2025·南通期末)Volunteering is a great way to make the world better, and helping in museums is especially meaningful. Museum volunteers take on different duties according to their skills or interests. In the visitor information centre, they sell tickets, keep luggage (行李) and answer questions. For guided tours, they share exhibitions and help visitors appreciate. When museum events are held, they help in workshops, talk to visitors, and document (记载) exhibits and events.
China has several fantastic museums. The Palace Museum was built in 1925. With wonderful buildings and art treasures inside, it is well - known to people all around the world. The China Science and Technology Museum which opened in 1988, improves public understanding of science through exhibitions (展览) and programmes. The Nantong Museum, set up in 1905, is the first public museum. It is still open to the public for free. The National Art Museum of China is China's largest art museum opened in 1963. It houses over 130,000 artworks.
Museum volunteering is good for both volunteers and the community. For example, Wenwei, a history teacher, loves giving tours and sharing stories, while Niuchen turns her interest into a job. Siyue, an 18 - year - old student, learns a lot and makes her IT skills better.
Children can also help through projects like the “Little Volunteer Programme” at the China Science and Technology Museum. After training and passing a test, young volunteers share their love for science, learn teamwork, and develop social skills. Museum volunteering is truly a win - win activity.
