About the Internship Program

Description

The Summer Internship in Museum Studies is an eight- to ten-week summer internship. Placements begin in June and end in mid-August. Interns work closely with museum staff on hands-on, meaningful projects and gain experience in the operation of a midsize museum. Work weeks are typically 37.5 hours, with some additional time for field trips, events, and meetings. Some weekend work is normally expected. Internship placements are tailored to the skills and interests of individual applicants.
