Summer Internships 2012

The Taubman Museum of Art is pleased to announce our Summer 2012 Internship Program. We are seeking undergraduate students and recent graduates who are passionate about the arts and curious about museum work. Our ten-week long program is a hands-on learning experience and provides students with a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at museums.

Description

Interns will work closely with a museum professional on a project connected to the museum’s collections and exhibitions. Interns will have the opportunity to work with the following departments: curatorial, education, development, or marketing. Interns will be placed on the basis of their experience and academic training, and departmental need and availability.

The internship will begin with a one-week overview of museum operations and will serve as an introduction to projects in different museum departments. In addition to their departmental responsibilities, interns will participate in weekly discussion seminars and meetings with museum staff. Field trips to other museums will also be arranged. The internship program will conclude with an oral presentation to museum staff.

Details

This internship is a ten week, full time position beginning on June 4, 2012 and ending on August 10, 2012. Interns will be assigned to work Mon-Fri or Tue-Sat, 9am-5pm. The position carries a stipend of $2,000. The internship is open to all undergraduate students or recent graduates with interest in the museum field.
