The Matson Museum of Anthropology offers opportunities for students to gain experience in museum activities ranging from collections management and research to exhibit design.  Undergraduate students volunteer or take independent study credits.  During the Summer Session, there are paid internships.  Students who have participated in museum activities have gone on to graduate school in museum studies at world-class institutions such as the University of Washington and George Washington University. To inquire about museum opportunities, please contact the curator, Dr. Claire McHale Milner, at cmm8@psu.edu.
