Provide cultural learning and enrichment to your Charlottesville neighbors by volunteering your time and skills at the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection of U.Va., the only museum of Indigenous Australian art in the U.S.! Volunteering at the Kluge-Ruhe Collection is an opportunity to connect with the world beyond Charlottesville - all the way to Australia!
There are three ways to help at Kluge-Ruhe:
- Docents prepare and give tours to the public about the museum's rotating exhibitions of Indigenous Australian art.
