Docent Program

Are you looking for a rewarding and stimulating volunteer experience? Become a docent at the Rosenbach!

Inspire visitors’ curiosity and creativity as you guide them through literary and artistic masterpieces and connect with the greatest minds of modern and historic times.

The Rosenbach’s volunteer docents entertain and enlighten visitors in our historic house every day. They weave stories of the Rosenbach brothers and illuminate the museum’s collections of fine arts, decorative arts, rare books, and manuscripts.

No formal background is required. We seek friendly, enthusiastic and committed applicants who enjoy working with diverse groups of people, learning through dialogue, and examining the world through its artifacts.

If you are interested, please contact Farrar Fitzgerald, Education Coordinator at the Rosenbach Museum & Library, at (215) 732-1600, ext. 135 or farrarf [at] rosenbach [dot] org (click here to sign up).

The Rosenbach is not planning on running a docent training in 2010. We are currently at capacity for volunteer docents.
