Museum Jobs

[masao]

Thank you very much for your reply.
I'm just checking it with google translate but I guess this link is more about a training for tourist guides. (Maybe you referred it thinking it might help if one is applying to an institute directly related to city heritage?)
Nevertheless what I'm trying to figure out is more about the nature of these jobs rather than the required qualifications. Are those institutions decide on staff positions autonomously or there is an outside decision mechanism?

Yep. That's a training to be a Helsinki City guide. I did some research a few years ago on the Helsinki guide job and found that school.
Then they told me that it was an advantage to have the guide certificate to get a job at a museum.

t, masao

It just sounds incredibly stupid to me to have a long forum discussion on something when you could get reliable answers immediately with a phone call.

The service you get when starting a phone call in English can vary greatly.

TGallery (which I'm guessing a government run museum) but it is also a foundation?

State organization. They fly the state flag (with the small coat of arms in the center) when it is one of "flag days"

Yes you're right.
I've also found this detailed report http://www.minedu.fi/export/sites/defau ... df?lang=fi
So as for Finnish National Gallery (Ateneum, Kiasma, Sinebrychoff) staff filling goes exactly as Rinso explained earlier.
