Internships

The New Orleans Museum of Art frequently has opportunities for students to gain valuable experiences by serving as interns in various Museum departments. The internship program is designed to provide undergraduate and graduate students from colleges and universities with on-site training at NOMA. Interns are expected to assume museum responsibilities and demonstrate individual initiative. The supervisor in turn is responsible for providing thorough training, guidance and evaluation.

Interns will gain exposure by working in at least one of NOMA's divisions - administration, curatorial, development or education. Because of their education background and interest in the museum field, interns should be prepared to assume specialized duties and to contribute at an important level in the Museum. In addition, interns should become acquainted with the functioning of NOMA as a whole.

Interns are required to work a minimum of seven to ten hours per week for approximately fourteen weeks during the academic year. Summer internships are also available.

Students interested in applying for an internship should contact Marney Robinson, Associate Curator of Education, at 504-658-4113 or mrobinson@noma.org. Applicants will need to provide a cover letter, curriculum vitae and a copy of a recent transcript. The deadline for fall internship applications has now closed. Students interested in spring internship positions should provide the appropriate documents by 5:00 p.m. on January 12, 2009.
