Interested to be a guide at Singapore's national museums? Sign up as a member of the Friends of the Museums (Singapore) FOM(S), as they launch a new series of docent training programmes in September 2008. These are specially catered for those keen in becoming volunteer museum guides.

Spanning four to six months, the training programmes will equip interested individuals with the necessary knowledge and background to become qualified docents at any one of Singapore's four national museums - Asian Civilisations Museum, National Museum of Singapore, Singapore Art Museum, and the newly minted Peranakan Museum.

The comprehensive training includes lectures by museum curators and recognised experts, field trips, highlight tours and practical activities within the museums.
