Internships provide the necessary experience and contacts for entering graduate programs and the museum profession. Ideally, students will perform two internships- one at a small regional institution and a second at a large metropolitan institution so as to provide a cross-section of professional practice. Although not recommended, students may elect to do only one internship. Below is a list of links to selected museum-related internship opportunities.
