Interns
We value our interns too much to ask them to brew coffee or make photocopies. These emerging museum professionals are important members of the MCA team: they work with curators to write labels, manage museum programs with educators, publicize museum events, and have even written some of the text on this site. In short, they assist almost every department of the museum. Interns work closely with MCA staff, and you can apply to be a part of this valued group, too.
