Through intensive one-on-one work on substantive projects with members of the Museum of Art staff, internships offer a unique way for students to acquire purposeful work experience. Interns will gain and apply knowledge and skills that are fundamental to work in museums and galleries. The work interns perform is often collaborative and interdisciplinary and serves the evolving priorities of the Museum. While there are four general categories into which internship fall and to which prospective interns apply (Collections Management, Educational and Interpretive Programming, Exhibitions, and Public Relations), the museum assigns internship projects based on its needs. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Students typically begin their work with the museum through academic internships, in which they earn credits toward graduation. Students who have successfully completed an academic internship or who have significant related experience are eligible for paid internship positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
