| Welcome to the Smithsonian Institution! As the world’s largest museum complex, the Smithsonian spans 19 museums, the National Zoo, cutting edge research facilities, and extensive education and outreach programs across the world. At any given time, the Smithsonian employs 6,000 workers, thousands of researchers, volunteers, and hosts 1,000 interns yearly. The Smithsonian is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and operates museums and facilities in New York, Virginia, Maryland, Florida, Massachusetts, Arizona, and Panama. This is an exciting time to be at the Smithsonian, and we hope you will make the most of it.
Smithsonian interns learn by doing. By helping us to produce our world-class programs, exhibits, and research, you will have an opportunity to make a real impact, develop personally and professionally, and learn from people who are experts in their fields.
The Smithsonian Center for Education and Museum Studies (SCEMS) has gathered the following information to guide you through your internship.
If you have any questions, please contact: interninfo@si.edu.
On behalf of the Smithsonian Internship Council and as a former Smithsonian intern myself (twice!), best wishes for a rewarding internship!
