Latino Museum Studies Program Undergraduate Internship
The Latino Museum Studies Program (LMSP) Undergraduate Internship is a paid 12-week, cohort-based museum studies program that offers hands-on training opportunities in non-curatorial subfields to participants interested in museum careers. Internship projects offered are geared to help participants gain skills in the following museum subfields:
- Museum conservation
- Museum education
- Museum interpretation
- Digital culture
- Collections management
- Exhibition design
- Fabrication and production
Through the program’s museum studies seminar series and the hands-on internship projects, participants gain valuable professional experience guided by a Smithsonian or National Gallery of Art staff member, while exploring diverse aspects of museum work. The program is designed for undergraduate students preparing for future careers in the museum sector.
With generous support from the Mellon Foundation, the National Museum of the American Latino has partnered with the National Gallery of Art and select universities to expand opportunities in museum studies and practice.
