This is a good time to make a plan, start your research, and go out and 
get that internship! If you think you want a job in the arts, an 
internship in an art museum is a good way to gain experience and make 
valuable connections. Museum internships offer students the opportunity 
to gain real work experience in areas including curatorial research, 
conservation, education, exhibition design and installation, and public 
programs.Please note that unpaid internships can provide the opportunity 
for employment post-grad, although this is up to you and your internship 
organization.
