The Tiffany & Co. Foundation Twelve-Month Curatorial Internship in American Decorative Arts

This twelve-month internship is awarded to an individual with a special interest in American decorative arts. Curators in the American Wing work with the Tiffany & Co. Foundation intern to develop their knowledge and skills through hands-on projects researching and documenting the permanent collection, special exhibitions, and/or additional ongoing departmental projects. During their internship, the Tiffany intern also pursues an independent research project culminating in a small gallery installation. Read about a former Tiffany & Co. Foundation intern’s project.

Strong candidates for this internship are students who have a dedicated interest in American culture and American decorative arts, 1700–1930. Good writing skills, the ability to work independently, and an enthusiasm for hands-on experience are especially useful.

The Tiffany & Co. Foundation internship was established to provide invaluable training for the next generation of museum professionals in the decorative arts. Former interns currently hold curatorial or administrative positions at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Several are pursuing a doctorate degree in the field.

Only one twelve-month Tiffany & Co. Foundation internship is available every year.
