I highly recommend the University of Rochester's internships in Europe
program. You don't need to be a University of Rochester student to
participate. I wasn't and about half of the other people I was with
that semester weren't either. Through that program I was placed in an
absolutely wonderful internship in the curatorial department of the
Royal Armouries, HM Tower of London. What was so great about that
internship was that I was the only intern they had so I got to do lots
of really cool stuff. University of Rochester also arranges wonderful
housing right on the Thames. If you'd like any more information about
this program check out the University of Rochester's web site or feel
free to e-mail me.
Good luck finding a paid internship. Paid museum internships are
about as rare to find in the UK as they are in the US. Also, I would
think if a UK museum had a paid internship that they would give it to
a UK student over a US student -- just my opinion. You can certainly
find other temporary jobs in the UK to earn a few bucks, but don't
count on a paid museum internship.

I will be graduating this May with a degree in Art History. I'm
interested in taking a year off before I go for my Master's in Arts
Administration or Museum Studies. I was wondering if anyone has
information on internship or employment opportunities in museums and
galleries in the UK. I have found information on programs sponsored
by American universities that support internships abroad; however, I'm
interested in making money when working.
I would greatly appreciate any information or advice!
