Group/Department of Digital Media of The Metropolitan Museum of Art is looking
for current college seniors and graduate students who are interested in
applying for an unpaid internship for the spring 2015 semester. Under the
supervision of professional staff, interns will gain first-hand experience by

experience.

would be a minimum of at least two full days (14 hours) per week during
