Duveneck and a selection of frames from the Duveneck painting
collection.  All tasks will be coordinated and supervised by the

Paintings, Sculpture and Drawings.

The internship is set up to further the career of a conservator in
training. The preferred candidate would posses strong organizational
skills, solid understanding of the field of conservation including
practical conservation techniques, research, and current approaches
