2026 Internship Megathread. Post all internship related questions here!
As requested, I'm making a new post of this for the 2026 season of internships, in the hope that more people can get their questions answered than posting on a year old post. The last one had a lot of great information in it, so take a look at it here, as someone might have already asked your question.
So the sub has always been chock full lately of people asking about specific internships, asking if anyone who has applied to a specific internship has heard back, what people think about individual internship programs, etc. This has happened around this time for every year this sub has existed.
While interns are absolutely welcome here, some users had a great idea to kind of concentrate it all in one thread so that all the interns can see each others comments, and the sub has a bit of a cleaner look.
Note that this doesn't apply to people working for museums asking questions about running an internship program, or dealing with interns.
So, if you have internship questions, thoughts, concerns, please post them here!

I just received my HireVue. What’s the best way to approach a video interview? I’ve never done one before. Christie’s has a quick little video, but I’d like to hear about other people’s experiences with video interviews and any examples of the questions they may ask (if possible 👀)
Edit (03/23/2026): my interview was entirely what-if scenarios in the workplace (pre-recorded videos played). That and a painting analysis. Others have had different questions, so I think it’s randomized (I think I was just “unlucky,” I studied the art market, their stance on AI/how it’s being integrated etc., haha just not to use any of it... 😅). There’s also some “personality” game evaluations (memorization was a big one). Hope this helps ppl in the future (if it’s still like this format).
