Gozo’s Il-Hagar Museum in Victoria, is run entirely on a voluntary basis. The museum said that its dedicated team is composed of management and working groups responsible for various areas such as operations, finance, events and logistics, marketing, projects, and restoration and conservation.

However, the true “heartbeat” of Il- Hagar Museum is, “without a shadow of a doubt, our wonderful team of front desk volunteers, whose commitment, resilience and loyalty make it possible to keep the museum open all year round, seven days a week, eight hours a day,” the museum said.

The front desk volunteers come from all walks of life and various nationalities. As a result, they regularly leave Gozo to spend some time in their respective countries, visit relatives, or go on holiday.

In light of this the museum is renewing a call for new faces to join this fantastic group by offering an hour or two weekly at the front desk.

It said that those who step forward will be playing an essential role in safeguarding Gozo’s cultural heritage, “and we assure them it will be an enjoyable experience too. Il-Hagar organises regular get-togethers and team-building events for its volunteers.”

If anyone is interested in helping to keep the museum doors open by joining the Hagar team of front desk volunteers, please contact them by email at info@heartofgozo.org.mt or send a direct message on the museum Facebook page.

Il-Hagar Museum said that it would like to take this opportunity to “express our heartfelt appreciation to our current team for their dedication, time and loyalty across all aspects of running the museum.”
