Museum internships

Application deadline: January 30, 2017
Internship Periods: June–August 

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum offers internships to students of junior-year college level or above, recent graduates, graduate students, postgraduates, and mature professionals pursuing further experience in the arts. Internships are available within a host of different museum departments.

The objective of the internship program is to offer practical museum training experience to individuals interested in pursuing careers in the arts and museum fields. Interns gain a broad understanding of how a particular department functions within the context of a major museum as well as specific skills related to a particular department’s activities. Interns are assigned based on their academic background, professional skills, interests, and career goals. Interns participate in the ongoing work of museum departments and complete specific projects or portions of larger departmental initiatives.

In addition, the Museum Culture Seminar Program supplements our Internship Program by incorporating field trips to sites such as auction houses, galleries, corporate collections, and other museums. Discussion with Guggenheim Museum staff from a range of departments and awareness of a range of museum-related issues is facilitated. A field trip outside of New York City is planned for the end of every session.
