Education: Museum Apprentice Program


The Museum Apprentice Program is a great opportunity for teens to work behind the scenes at a major art museum. Museum Apprentices:

  • Meet curators
  • Develop educational tours for summer camp groups
  • Practice public speaking
  • Plan events for other teens
  • Expand their knowledge of art and art history
The Museum Apprentice Program is open to all high school freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and beginning seniors. The program begins in October and concludes in August. Meetings are held on Fridays from 5 to 7 p.m., October through June. Apprentices must work a minimum of one weekend day per month during the school year. In July and August, Apprentices will work with camp groups from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesdays through Fridays. Apprentices must commit to a full year and are required to attend all meetings and workdays.
