The exhibition features contemporary displays, interactive experiences for all ages, rotating spotlight loan vehicles, rare and previously unseen collection items, and archive film, sound and stories that surprise, engage and inspire.

As a Volunteer Museum Attendant, you’ll welcome visitors and chat with them about the exhibits in a friendly, informative way; help people of all ages enjoy the displays; keep the exhibition area clean and tidy; help care for the vehicle collection; and support vehicle and visitor safety in the gallery.
