A Guide to Art History Internships Abroad
Prepare for an Internship
Understand the benefits
Traveling and seeing different historical art pieces? What’s not to love? No doubt, it has its benefits, and here are a few:
- Professional growth. It’ll give your resume a major boost with international experience that can help you stand out in the competitive art world.
- Skill development. You’ll get hands-on practice with skills like curating, research, and conservation—things you just can’t learn from textbooks.
- See art up close. You’ll finally get to see in person what you’ve only ever seen in pictures—and yes, it’s really happening!
Things to know
When planning your art history internship abroad, there are a few important things to keep in mind:
- Program requirements - Each internship program has specific application requirements, so it’s crucial to research and prepare in advance to ensure you have all the necessary documents and qualifications ready.
- Financial planning - To ease the financial burden of interning abroad, explore scholarships and special deals that can help with expenses, and make sure to budget carefully to understand the full cost of living at your chosen destination.
- Health and safety - Familiarize yourself with the health and safety protocols of your destination and obtain comprehensive travel insurance, such as through GoAbroad Insurance, to safeguard yourself against unexpected issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
Art history interns typically assist with research, cataloging, and organizing exhibitions in museums, galleries, or cultural institutions. They may help with archival work, write exhibition descriptions, support educational programs, or assist in conservation efforts. Some internships also involve social media management, event planning, or visitor engagement.
Securing an art internship abroad requires researching cultural institutions, museums, and galleries in your preferred destination. University study-abroad offices, art organizations, and international internship programs like GoAbroad can provide leads. Networking with professionals and professors in the field can also help uncover hidden opportunities.
Top destinations for art history internships include cities rich in cultural heritage, such as Paris, Florence, London, and New York. These locations offer renowned museums, galleries, and conservation programs. Emerging art hubs like Berlin, Barcelona, and Tokyo also provide unique opportunities to explore contemporary and historical art movements.
An international art history internship enhances cultural awareness, provides access to world-class museums, and offers hands-on experience in diverse artistic traditions. It also expands professional networks and strengthens language skills. Exposure to different curatorial and conservation methods can give you a competitive edge in the global art world.
Paid art history internships exist but are less common, especially in museums and nonprofit organizations. Some institutions offer stipends or academic credit instead of salaries. However, larger galleries, auction houses, and private art firms may provide compensation. Seeking grants or scholarships can also help fund unpaid opportunities.
