Art History Internship Database

As art history students, we understand that it can often be difficult to find an internship in a museum, gallery, non-profit, or other art institution that can help explore potential career avenues and gain professional experience.

In order to make the search for art internships easier, we have compiled a list of opportunities all over the world, including internships in curation, conservation, and more, for students interested in entering the professional art world. We have also included resources like helpful websites, youtube channels, and podcasts.

If you have any recommended resources you want to suggest to us, please feel free to email your materials to us at info@chenghuai.org~
