The Ten Chimneys Foundation is offering a curatorial internship to contribute to the museums on-going documentation of the permanent collection and provide hands on collections management experience for a student. The internship will focus on the Lunts’ personal library and the various fine and decorative arts objects used to furnish the Library interior.
This 100 hour internship is intended for individuals who have completed at least one year of undergraduate or graduate work in museum studies, art history, historic preservation, material culture, or in an allied field. An intern would gain hands on collection management experience and exposure to historic site stewardship. Students are responsible for arranging academic credit with their sponsoring institutions. No stipend is offered for this opportunity.
Ten Chimneys was the country house of Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, widely considered the greatest acting team in the history of American theatre, and is now a house museum and a National Historic Landmark. Ten Chimneys’ diverse collections and remarkable interiors are comprised of the original objects selected by the Lunts in the 1920s, ‘30s, and 40s and represent a wide range of cultures and centuries.
