Internships combine two elements:
Departmental placements:
- You’ll be paired with a supervisor and integrated into one of our departments, participating fully in day-to-day workplace activities and projects with the guidance of full-time staff members
- Placement is based on interest and relevant experience. You’ll work alongside our expert staff on key tasks, gaining skills while making important contributions to the Museum as a whole.
- Please refer to the online application for a list of departmental placements and descriptions. While departmental placements change with each application cycle, there are usually several open positions in Curatorial, Development, and Conservation.
Weekly seminars:
- The internship combines practical experience with professional development through weekly seminars that focus on the role of museums in society. During our fall and spring internships, seminars take place on Tuesdays, 9:30 am–12:30 pm
- Attendance is mandatory. T
- he seminars look critically at the history of museums; question how museums have responded to current events, trends, and social issues; and ask interns to envision what the next generation of museums will look like.
- Seminars include intimate conversations with Brooklyn Museum curators, conservators, educators, and collection and exhibition specialists, as well as invited artists and outside experts. Interns also visit local museums and other cultural institutions.
- Interns gain skills and perspectives on museum work and learn how to transfer those skills to other types of professional experience.
