Brescia museums seek guides: here are requirements, pay, how to apply

Fondazione Brescia Musei is launching a procedure for the formation of a single list of professionals and experts to be drawn from for the performance of guided tour services, to be provided as part of Fondazione Brescia Musei’ exhibition and cultural initiatives starting in February 2023. Applications, complete with curriculum vitae and exhaustive list and description of the experience carried out, must be submitted by noon on January 23, 2023. Applications received after this date will be included in the list in the first useful update, which will normally occur annually in the same manner.

The purpose of the Foundation is to integrate the existing service, already provided by the collaborators of the Educational Services, through professional figures and experts who have specific skills with regard to the Collections of the Civic Museums and who guarantee quality and homogeneity in the services offered to visitors, ensuring on the part of the Brescia Musei Foundation a timely management of the activities requested by the public also in light of their foreseeable future increase. This adjustment has become necessary in anticipation of the numerous requests expected during the year of the Italian Capital of Culture in 2023.

The fees will be: for guided tours to groups of adults, 93 euros for visit up to 2 hours, 165 euros for visit up to 4 hours and 30 minutes. For guided tours to school groups, 63 euros for visit up to 2 hours, 123 euros for visit up to 4 hours and 30 minutes.
