Dawn,
While an undergraduate student I did an internship with the Royal
Armouries at the Tower of London via the University of Rochester
Internships in Europe Program. In addition to London, I know that
they also arrange museum internships in Germany and other countries.
The program made all housing arrangements (I had a terrific flat right
on the Thames across from St. Pauls Cathedral) and provided an
excellent support base in each country. One doesn't have to be
student at the University of Rochester -- I wasn't. I'm not sure if
the program is open to graduate students, but it's worth looking into.
I don't have a web address, but I know information about the program
is available through the University of Rochester web page. The only
negative thing is the cost -- VERY expensive!!!

---------------------------------------
I have a Museum Studies graduate student, not connected to the list,
who is looking for a museum internship in Germany, Poland, or the
Czech Republic for the summer of 2000. Since the native language
factor is a problem, he would prefer an internship with a museum in an
urban area where the English language is commonly spoken. (He plans
to pursue an intensive language program before he leaves for his
internship).
While his background is in registration, he is more than willing to
work in any area related to exhibition or collections management in a
natural history, history, or art museum. Compensation is not expected
but he would need assistance with finding housing.
If anyone has any established relationships with museums or museum
personnel in these countries that can recommended, please e-mail me
directly at [log in to unmask]
Thank you in advance for any assistance provided,

hat)
