Internship Opportunities


Join & Support / Internships

The Gardiner Museum offers experiential learning opportunities for students and emerging professionals in the museum sector.

We offer paid internships in specific roles within the Curatorial and Education & Programs departments. Interns will work alongside Senior Staff to develop technical expertise, hone research skills, and engage directly with the Museum’s collections, exhibitions, and audience, while growing professional networks in the field. They will also have the opportunity to undertake a core project, work across departments, and build reflective practice. Current internship opportunities are listed below.

The Museum welcomes applications from current undergraduate and graduate students, recent graduates, and others entering careers in the museum sector.

Internship opportunities at the Gardiner Museum are made possible with the generous support of the RBC Foundation.
