The move comes as part of the museum\u2019s broader effort to enhance its \u201cvast curatorial knowledge\u201d by engaging grassroots experts to assist in \u201cspecific cultural niches\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

London\u2019s V&A Museum has already filled four superfan roles, for Pok\u00e9mon cards, Toby Jugs, Gorpcore clothing and LEGO.<\/span><\/p>\n

The museum is also looking for individuals passionate about emojis, drag and Crocs footwear, among other roles.<\/span><\/p>

The positions will be paid a set rate per session, which will be agreed with applicants at the interview stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Museum director Dr Tristram Hunt said: \u201cThese new advisory roles will help us celebrate and discover more about the enormous, and often surprising, creative diversity on offer at the V&A, as well as helping us to learn more about the design stories that are relevant to our audiences today.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
