Auckland Museum is a much-loved culture and heritage organisation at the heart of Auckland’s identity, committed to developing and sharing engaging content through its galleries, exhibition, events and educational programmes. We are Auckland's home of commemoration as well as the country’s oldest research institution and a major tourist destination.
Our summer studentship opportunities enable students to learn more about the research and practice of Auckland Museum. Students will work alongside Museum staff to undertake a project that enables them to gain experience in an area of museum practice or research that they are interested in and that complements their studies.
