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.
