A museum assistant is an entry-level position. Oftentimes people accept this position in hopes that they can advance through the museum’s staff, which can be a good strategy. However, it depends on the museum’s policies. Some museums provide in-house training for their staff with the intent of internal promotion while others do not. If you are intent on advancing into higher levels within the museum hierarchy, be sure to research the staff training programs available for specific museums. If internal promotion is a goal of the museum, there is a clear career pathway to take. You can progress to a program assistant, volunteer coordinator, and eventually may be able to work your way up to assistant curator. From that point, with proper qualifications, you could eventually become a museum curator. However, higher positions likely require a bachelor’s degree. Becoming a curator generally requires a master’s degree.
