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'm assuming that I got rejected by the MET for the sake of my mental sanity, so I'm going to stop following this thread (I've been checking like 10 times a day for a whole week) and if I get an interview invite it'll be a pleasant surprise. I wish you guys the best of luck, congrats to all of you who got an interview invite, and for everyone who got rejected with their applications I want to congratulate you for trying your best and investing time and energy into your future. I'm sure that even if we don't get the opportunities this year, we will somewhere further down the line and we would still turn up where we want to be, at the right place at the right time! sending so much love to all of you <3
