We are currently in the process of revamping our internship program and will not be accepting applications for our general internship program for the summer of 2019.-->Summer Internships
The Albright-Knox hosts interns each summer to take part in projects throughout the museum and to learn, through real life experience, how museums work. At the beginning of the summer, interns are welcomed to the Albright-Knox with a group orientation. Interns also meet for weekly seminars to learn more about various departments and aspects of the museum.
Our Summer Session takes place over eight weeks from June through early August. Participants must complete 120 hours during the session. Hours are flexible. Students who wish to obtain academic credit for their internship may do so and must make their own arrangements with their college or university. The application deadline for the 2019 Summer Session is Monday, February 25, 2019.
