Paid Summer 2017 Internship for Graduate Student - The Metropolitan Museum of Art Archives
Met Archives
The
Metropolitan Museum of Art Archives holdings are primarily textual
documents related to the Met's institutional history, collection, and
past exhibitions, dating from 1870 through the twentieth century. The
intern's responsibilities will include archival processing of Museum
records, reference assistance to Museum staff and non-staff scholars,
and historical research. The ideal candidate will be enrolled in a
graduate program in library/information science or archives management.
In addition to developing practical work skills through this
departmental placement, the intern will participate in MuSe (Museum
Seminars) and interact directly with the Museum's diverse audience by
conducting a gallery talk based on their area of expertise.
MuSe
Join
a vibrant community of students at The Metropolitan Museum of Art this
summer! The Museum Seminar (MuSe) Internship Program offers paid
ten-week and long-term internships for undergraduate and graduate
students, as well as recent graduates, to explore museum careers and
gain professional experience during the summer. The Met has over forty
department areas that host interns from a wide variety of academic
backgrounds with an interest in art and museums. In addition to
developing skills through special projects with Met staff, MuSe interns
train to lead their own public tours in the galleries, and participate
in a weekly seminar series on museum practice.
The Met
strongly encourages applications from students who are members of groups
underrepresented in careers related to museums and the visual arts.
