[MoMA 12-month Internship]

Hi everyone!

 

I need your advice. I am currently applying for the MoMA 12-month internship and have hard times choosing the right department.

 

Here's the list of all possible internships http://www.moma.org/learn/courses/internships#12month.

 

I have narrowed my choice to:

 

1. Public Programs

2. Department of Prints and Illustrated Books

3. Painting and Sculpture

 

The Nr. 2 and Nr. 3 in my list both see the ideal candidate coming from the Art History background (with coursework in modern art). As it is also stated: PREFERABLY from Art History background. Besides that they require experience in the museum work.

 

Nr. 1 doesn't have any specific requirements upon educational background.

 

My situation is next one: B.A. in Philosophy with Minor Specialization in Culture Studies (Art History course: 2 semesters), M.A. in European Studies (European Culture, Law, Cultural Management). Currently I am doing a voluntary year at the museum complex (Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation) in Germany (worked with sculptures, prints, chandelliers etc. - mostly inventorization, research, besides that assistance with exhibition planning).

 

THE QUESTIONS IS: for which of the internship programs am I the most suitable candidate? What would value more: my experience or educational background?

 

Thank you in advance for any suggestions you might have!

 

If it helps: I'm Ukrainian and besides English, German I speak (of course) Ukrainian and Russian, and some Polish and Chinese (the foreign languages knowledge is also listed in the requirements)
