Tate in London houses the National Collection of British and Modern

sculpture.

Tate is offering a work experience placement beginning in September

Applicants must be a citizen of the USA, eligible to obtain a United
Kingdom work experience permit (WP2), and have a Masters Degree in
Art Conservation.  The internship stipend is $18,000 paid in pounds
sterling at monthly intervals, plus an additional $2000
