WHO WE ARE:

Founded in 1978, Mingei International Museum collects, preserves and exhibits “art of the world, art of the people,” including folk art, craft, and design from all eras and cultures. Located in San Diego’s iconic Balboa Park, our highly respected Museum offers stunning exhibitions and diverse educational programs to more than 200,000 visitors each year. The Museum is a nonprofit organization.

The Museum is a place where all are welcome, where the community can gather, and where individuals can rest and find creative inspiration.

POSITION SUMMARY
Visitor Experience Associates (VE Associates) play an active role in inspiring a welcoming and engaging experience for visitors throughout the Museum.

As ambassadors of the Museum’s high standards of hospitality, they are knowledgeable and passionate about Mingei’s mission, collection and exhibitions, shop products, and events.

At Mingei we strive to offer a memorable and meaningful experience to our audience, and this is only possible with the hard work and dedication of a passionate and creative team.
