Internship at Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen

Internship in Conservation
Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen

Conservation student trainees serve an internship from two to six
months in one of the following sections of the conservation
department: paintings, drawings and prints, or contemporary art and
objects. The internship program offers students an opportunity to
develop and refine their skills through the examination and
treatment of works of art under the guidance of professional
conservators. Informal discussions contribute to the programme. In
addition, the internship will include other museum-related
activities.

Candidates for internships should be students of a recognized
training programme or have equivalent training. Candidates must have
Danish or English language skills. Accepted applicants who are not
Danish citizens must provide proof of their own health insurance
during the internship period. Internships are given without regard
to age, sex, nationality, or race. Statens Museum for Kunst does not
offer any financial support for interns, and external funding is
therefore required. Statens Museum for Kunst will offer letters of
support for fundraising for the accepted candidate.
