Ringling Museum is pleased to announce the Summer Graduate Internships for 2007 at The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art. The Ringling Museum, located in Sarasota, Florida, provides a high quality, practical work experience for current graduate students interested in a career in the museum field.

About the Museum. The Ringling Museum is comprised of three museums on a 66-acre estate located on Sarasota Bay and includes an internationally recognized art collection, the Ringling mansion, Cd’Zan , and a Circus Museum. Beginning in January, 2006, a series of new buildings began opening, which includes the Circus Museum’s Tibbals Learning Center celebrating the Circus, a Visitors Pavilion featuring the reinstalled Historic Asolo Theater, new art galleries, and an education center.

About the Internships. The 2007 internships will begin on June 15, 2007 and end on August 9, 2007, with a mandatory orientation on June 14, 2007. During this eight-week period a total stipend of $3,600 will be paid. The Museum will assist the interns in obtaining housing, if requested. The cost of housing and meals will be the responsibility of the intern. Each intern will be assigned to a specific area of museum operations based on their choice of an internship indicated on their application.

The Internship Experience. Approximately half of the experience will focus on a pre-determined project that will add not only value to the museum, but also will be an invaluable tool for a future career.
