We’re looking for outgoing, friendly and flexible tour guides for our compelling new exhibition, "Opium: The Business of Addiction," at the Forbes House Museum in Milton, MA. The installation tells the story of the Forbes family’s involvement in the 19th-century opium trade and the historical context of the current opioid epidemic. Guides receive extensive training through in-person and video conference sessions. The exhibition runs through February, 2023; flexible hours are available for evening and weekend tours.
