      Internships

      Are you drawn to cultural exploration? Wondering what it might be like to work in a museum?

      If your answer is "Yes!," an internship at PEM is right for you. You’ll collaborate side by side with professionals in diverse fields and make valuable contributions during your time here. PEM internships offer opportunities to build skills, learn about the arts and discover career opportunities in museums. Be ready to jump in with both feet – you might shoot a video, write a marketing plan, coordinate a wedding or research an exhibition.

      Interns learn valuable professional and organizational skills. Internships are available with flexible hours in a range of departments. The program also includes monthly Intern Enrichment Programs to foster a sense of belonging and develop a deeper understanding of museums behind the scenes.

      This institution cares about setting their interns up for success.
