Listing Start Date: December 20, 2024
Expires: January 24, 2025
Toledo Museum of Art is now accepting applications for our Summer 2025 Pre-Program Conservation Internship.
This on-site, 10-week paid internship is intended for individuals focusing on a career in art conservation to gain conservation experience. Working with the Museum’s Director of Conservation, Associate Objects Conservator, Associate Conservator for Textile-Based Collections, Conservation Technician, and Works on Paper Conservation Assistant, the Summer intern will gain a wide range of conservation experience participating in all departmental activities. This may include condition reporting works of art, rehousing projects, treating both outdoor and indoor sculptures, and contributing to the museum’s preventive conservation and exhibition installation programs. General conservation concepts will be taught, including conservation ethics, preventive maintenance procedures, risk management, textile and object related treatment procedures and materials, matting and framing of works of art on paper, and more, depending on the interest of the successful candidate. Conservation activities performed will be commensurate with experience. The intern will be able to add their work experience in written and photographic form to their portfolio for application to a conservation program once the internship is complete.
This is a great opportunity to gain experience in contemporary conservation practice and an understanding of museum workflows. Applications are open now and due January 24, 2025. Learn more and apply at the link: toledomuseum.org/about/jobs-internships
