In what it describes as a milestone, the Metropolitan Museum of Art today announced the debut of its first group of undergraduate and graduate interns to be 100% paid. The museum says that the number of students applying for this round of the intern programme more than tripled from a year earlier, when just 36% of the positions included salaries.
The spring internships, which began last week and run through 23 April, provide work experience and mentorship to 28 interns whose compensation is being funded through a $5m gift from the philanthropist Adrienne Arsht. Pay for an additional nine others in the cohort is financed by other museum supporters.
