The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation oversees a unique and wide-ranging internship program at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection for students of art, art history or related disciplines interested in gaining first-hand, practical experience of how a museum is run and familiarity with an important collection of modern art.
Some of the activities carried out by participants include supporting departments such as: Visitor Services (presence in the galleries during opening hours to the public, welcoming and engaging visitors, assisting with tasks in the ticket office and cloakroom); the Education Department (regular presentations to the public on the life and collection of Peggy Guggenheim, guided tours, and workshops for children); the Events Department (supporting institutional events and inaugurations); the Library, and much more.
The International Internship Program at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection also includes activities such as seminars, lectures, educational trips both within and outside the city of Venice, and guided tours specifically planned to facilitate the practice, dialogue, and study of students’ respective academic and professional skills.
