“We look forward to welcoming you to our finest palaces and museums in 2024, sharing their extraordinary stories and engaging you in expert professional practice.”
The Open Palace Programmes are unique hands-on experiences for students and emergent professionals behind the scenes in some of the UK's finest palaces and heritage sites and museums, working with and learning from the consummate professionals who care for them.
The Open Palace Programmes are also excellent experience for librarians and educators in the process of changing to a career in heritage and museums.
The Open Palace Programmes will give you a new perspective on heritage specialisms and how they are actually practiced on site including conservation, collections management, interpretation, education and crafting the visitor experience.
The Open Palace Programmes are endorsed by key organisations in the UK heritage sector including the Historic Royal Palaces.
Engaging directly with heritage alongside experts in their field, the programme will allow you to build your own knowledge and skills from direct experience at the heart of UK heritage.
The Open Palace Programmes provides a marvellous way of extending your career opportunities. During the programmes you will benefit from careers advice to help you to understand your particular career experience options within the UK heritage sector.
The programmes offers a richness and diversity that few individual placements or internships can compare with.
In 2024 there will be two marvellous programmes to choose from, taking place in England and in Scotland. The itineraries for the English and Scottish programmes are available on this site.
