Become a Public Host at Museum Cobra and contribute to inspiring exhibitions!

Museum Cobra places the art and philosophy of the Cobra movement at its core. In a world where creativity and international solidarity are more important than ever, the museum connects the Cobra collection with contemporary artists and movements.

What will you do?
As a volunteer at Museum Cobra, you’ll support a range of activities such as welcoming and informing visitors, monitoring the exhibition spaces, and assisting during events. You play an important role in creating a warm, educational, and welcoming atmosphere.

What we offer:
• Volunteer compensation
• Free museum entry for one year, plus discounts in the shop and café
• Invitations to previews, openings, and finissages
• A pleasant and inspiring work environment in the heart of Amstelveen

Exhibition schedule 2025 / 2026
•De Cycloop – 20 September 2025 to 18 January 2026

•WI SRANAN – Surinamese Art in Motion – 8 November 2025 to 1 March 2026
The theme of freedom forms the common thread throughout this exhibition and connects seamlessly to the spirit of Cobra, which broke away from academic conventions and embraced the power of imagination and collaboration. With Wi Sranan which roughly translates to “Our Suriname” – we offer visitors the opportunity to discover Cobra and Surinamese art in a new light. Fashion, photography, paintings, installations, film, and performances reveal how stories from the past continue to live on in today’s imagination, and how artists continuously redefine the meaning of freedom with their gaze fixed on the future.

To provide our visitors with an unforgettable experience, we are looking for volunteers who:
• Offer information to visitors
• Monitor the exhibition spaces
• Speak both Dutch and English

We’d love to hear from you if:
• You’re enthusiastic, open-minded and flexible
• You value hospitality and enjoy working with people
• You’re available at least once a week or on weekends
• You’re at least 18 years old

Interested or have any questions? Feel free to get in touch with me. You can contact Ryan at Museum Cobra to share your motivation or apply directly.

Warm regards,
Ryan Volunteer Coordinator
