The Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art encourages active learning through direct engagement with art from our wide-ranging collection, which spans nearly every art-producing culture throughout history. With four specialized centers and technology-equipped learning spaces throughout the museum, we are dedicated to engaging students, faculty, artists, scholars, alumni, and the wider public through the cultivation of new ideas and scholarship.
Undergraduate Diversity Internships

The Eskenazi Museum of Art is proud to introduce our Summer Diversity Internship program focused on experiential learning and professional development in our museum setting. The program welcomes students who are curious about art and museum work. No prior museum experience is required. This is a paid internship and includes a housing stipend for 8 weeks. Participation is open to any and all IU students from an IU campus regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, economic status and other diverse backgrounds.
The internship is focused on museums and how they work as organizations. Interns will be introduced to different career possibilities and interact with museum and art experts from diverse backgrounds. Topics will include audience research, museum administration, and hands-on engagement with objects in the museum collection. Interns will complete the program with knowledge of museum and nonprofit functions as well as skills applicable across a range of careers.
