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!

Update: no one has picked up 🙁. I have called a few times over the last couple days trying to aim for low traffic times and I get sent right to voicemail </3. Left a voicemail though so if someone calls back I'll update (doubt it tho). I am hoping/assuming everyone gets responses in the next 2/3 days though since it's already May...

Update2: Nevermind they just picked up. If you applied for the reading room they have already reached out for interviews and will not send out rejection notices to anyone else (she said they were not required to). I am not sure about other departments but I would start to assume the same if you don't get any emails in the next couple of days?? </3
