Docents guide tours and act as ambassadors to the collections. Our Docents undergo a rigorous training program that provides them with knowledge of not only the vehicles themselves, but also the history of the people and the companies that created them.
Station Guides share knowledge of the collections with guests on an informal level. Posted throughout the museum, Station Guides stand ready to answer questions, give directions and, of course, ensure the safety of the cars and objects on display.
Training consists of four distinct components: classroom instruction, vehicle-specific study, tour shadowing, and peer evaluation. Fully trained docents guide our guests through the collection’s four thematic galleries (Automobility, Vitesse, Revs, and Porsche), weaving together each vehicle’s individuality, societal impact, and historical importance — thus bringing the collection to life.
Utilizing this knowledge either as a Station Guide or Docent, you then share each car’s story in a way that connects with our visitors. If you share our passion for historically significant automobiles and are able to commit to at least one 3-hour shift per week, please fill out and submit this form for consideration.
