Our dedicated team of volunteers has been supporting the Belvedere through their active and committed work at the information desk for many years. The info-desk is open all year round from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and serves visitors from Austria and abroad as a point of contact for a wide variety of questions about the museum, art history, and tourism, as well as membership and programs organized by the Friends of the Belvedere.

To strengthen our team, we are always looking for gracious and reliable individuals with a keen interest in art. In addition to German and fluent English, knowledge of other foreign languages is a plus. PC, Internet, and MS Office literacy is essential. Our team members work at least twice a month for 3.5 hours at the information desk. In return for your commitment, we extend our gratitude with a complimentary Supporting Membership to the Friends of the Belvedere, allowing you to enjoy a wide range of benefits.

If you are interested in volunteering at the Belvedere information desk, please contact the Friends of the Belvedere office.
