FIU Museums Insiders Program

What encouraged me to join the Insiders program was my love for art museums. Many people are unaware of all the museums available to them. The Insiders program also allows members to get internships and meet other college students.

Going to the first event and meeting the curator, I got the idea to email her and ask for a one-on-one conversation/shadowing day, and she accepted. I do foresee, from the first meeting, that the potential benefits will be learning and networking, which will then lead to opportunities to execute projects—and greater job and internship opportunities.

After receiving my first-ever behind-the-scenes experience, it made me realize how valuable it is to be properly informed and guided through the exhibits because the knowledge of some museum staff is incredible and eye-opening.
