About The Position

About the Summer Internship Program The Summer Internship Program provides undergraduate and graduate students and beginning professionals with practical experience in a specific area of museum work at The Museum of Modern Art. Interns participate in weekly professional development activities designed to increase understanding of the Museum’s various collections, exhibitions, and departments. The Museum hosts approximately 25 interns in various departments across our institution. Participants may arrange for academic credit through their school, but it is not a requirement. MoMA Summer 2026 internships require a commitment of four days per week. The schedule is Monday-Thursday, 9:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m. One must have a minimum of two years of college completed (or equivalent) by June 2026 in order to apply. All summer intern applications are due by Sunday, March 1st by 11:59 PM EST. Duration: June 8—August 13; Ten Weeks Application Deadline: March 1, 2026 Decision Notification: April 20, 2026 Stipend: $6,160 Department Projects & Tasks Publications presents a rotating structure that works closely with the three sections of our department — production, editorial, business & marketing — followed by career-focused resources and guidance. Therefore, the intern can expect to learn and assist with some of the following tasks, depending on existing timelines: layout design; obtaining images; color proofing and corrections; rights clearance; proofreading; award submissions; marketing and sales materials. In addition to these focused projects, they will also work with the department manager on administrative tasks, such as archiving; book distribution; conference and event planning. This opportunity will provide the intern with a generous exposure to art publishing and training for an entry-level role at a publishing house or museum. The intern will work on a range of in-progress projects, which will include publications set to publish in the Fall of 2026 and the Spring of 2027. Additionally, the intern will likely participate in some opportunities related to the upcoming Marcel Duchamp exhibition.
