Hi there,
I am looking to get experience in working in museums and have managed to secure an interview for a position for a museum in London.The advert didn't state whether or not expenses would be paid the voluntary position, and if they're not, I can't really afford it. Having looked at other volunteer adverts, some say expenses are provided but others don't. Is it generally the case that if the advert doesn't explicitly state that expenses are provided then they are not, or is it possible that they are and this is just not mentioned in the advert?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry, the title should read 'Museum volunteering', not 'work experience'

You will just have to ask them.
It depends on the museum.
Most of them offer reasonable travel expenses and lunch. There may be a limit to this.
Just google the museum as a lot of them state on their website or e-mail them. -

Thank you! I emailed them two days ago to ask and haven't received a reply...I'm thinking that's not a great sign!
