About the role
We’re offering a unique opportunity to take your first steps into the museum and gallery world through a new Curatorial Traineeship. You don’t need previous experience working in an art gallery, or even a degree in art history. What matters most is an interest in art, an openness to learning, and a passion for making collections accessible and inclusive.
The National Galleries of Scotland is delighted to partner with Aberdeen Archives, Gallery and Museums in hosting this traineeship. Art Fund Vivmar Curatorial Traineeships are generously supported by The Vivmar Foundation.
The traineeship offers a chance to gain in-depth, hands-on experience across two major Scottish institutions. It is designed to support those who are eager to build a career in curatorial practice, especially individuals from diverse or marginalised backgrounds who may not have previously considered working in the arts.
You will receive structured training in curatorial skills, including practical development in collection management software. Our strong team culture will provide you with guidance, mentoring and ongoing support as you build confidence in working with collections and engaging diverse audiences.
You will spend 16 months based in Edinburgh with the National Galleries of Scotland. From March 2027 you will transfer to Aberdeen Archives, Gallery and Museums for 6 months, with your time split between the Aberdeen Art Gallery and Aberdeen Treasure Hub. There is a travel and accommodation allowance to support the varied locations of this traineeship.
