Forbes House Museum College Internship Program

The FHM Internship Program seeks energetic college undergraduate and graduate students who are eager to work in an historic house museum. The Museum is accepting proposals in the areas of museum education, collections, marketing and social media, and development.

Interns work directly with the executive director and Museum staff on projects that address the research and implementation of educational programs and events; accession and conservation of works in the Museum collection and library; research and implementation of new development programs intended to build the Museum’s relationships throughout New England; and creation of new marketing and social media initiatives. Interns are also welcome to conduct research on the Museum itself. 

Students may call the Museum to discuss proposed projects at (617) 696-1815. All interested applicants must submit a resume, proposal letter, and letter of recommendation/support for the proposed project to:

Robin Tagliaferri, Executive Director

Forbes House Museum, 215 Adams Street, Milton, MA 02186

or to r.tagliaferri@forbeshousemuseum.org.

Workshop Instructors Needed: A Call to Artists and Historians

The Forbes House Museum is currently accepting proposals from visual, literary, and performing artists and historians to design and implement workshops or seminars for adults and/or children.  Topics for exploration should address aspects of the Museum’s collection, which includes holdings in American China Trade decorative arts; Chinese, American, and European painting and furniture; Greek Revival architecture; President Lincoln memorabilia, Forbes family history (which originated in Aberdeenshire, Scotland); and nautical artifacts, ship replicas, and designs. These workshops/seminars will be offered to the public primarily on Saturdays, with additional time slots on Sundays and evenings.
           
Artists and historians may submit a resume, proposal letter, and examples of their original work to: Robin Tagliaferri, Executive Director, Forbes House Museum, 215 Adams Street, Milton, MA 02186, or by e-mail at r.tagliaferri@forbeshousemuseum.org. Museum educators are also welcome to apply and should send examples/samples/templates of the proposed activity in place of a portfolio.
