M+ Internship Programme

The M+ Internship Programme is a unique opportunity for those who are interested in developing a career in the museum field. Interns work closely with the M+ team full time for a period of one year, gaining both practical and theoretical training.

In addition to working on specific projects under the supervision of their mentors, interns learn from curators and senior members of the team in a series of sharing sessions. Internships are paid and run on a recurring basis, with openings every year. Internships are offered in the following departments:

Working with a curator as their mentor, each intern contributes to upcoming exhibitions and other curatorial initiatives that are being planned in anticipation of the opening of the museum building, around the areas of design and architecture, Hong Kong visual culture, moving image, and visual art.
