Ten-Week Internships at National Museum of the American Indian
Posted: Oct 16, 2009
Designed for any students interested in conservation.
Internships in the Conservation Office provide an exciting opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to work directly on the care and preservation of Native American objects. Conservation at the museum involves collaborating with Native people to develop appropriate methods of handling, preserving, and interpreting cultural materials. Interns examine the condition of selected objects—cleaning and repairing them when necessary—for exhibition or loan. Students with a background in studio art, anthropology, art history, museum studies, chemistry, or biology are encouraged to apply. Native American applicants interested in conservation and museum care practices are especially welcome. These positions may carry a stipend.
