Internships
The KMAC Museum internship program welcomes students and
recent graduates who wish to broaden their education and professional
experience by working and learning in a non-profit museum.
KMAC departments offer experiential education in a challenging,
hands-on environment in exchange for a substantive contribution
from talented and interested individuals. The value of an internship
lies in the educational experience it provides for both students and
Museum staff. Interns accomplish needed museum work while gaining
insight and experience to guide their future career decisions.

If you are interested in volunteering or securing an internship in a department that is not currently seeking an intern, please contact each department head directly and they can register your interest for future opportunities. Our staff contact information can be found here.
