Exhibit Development Intern
The Minnesota Zoo develops exhibits in support of its educational goals. Shaping interpretive messages for the Zoo and implementing them as a consistent and effective program throughout multiple habitat types and hundreds of animals is the role of the Zoo’s interpretive planner. The Zoo seeks individuals interested in zoo and museum exhibit development and design to assist in the development of new exhibits. Formal internships range between 20-40 hours per week for 10-14 weeks. Work schedule is somewhat flexible. College credit is required—must have junior or senior status with coursework in museum studies or other fields that demonstrate an interest in exhibit development or design. Beyond formal internships, volunteer opportunities are possible for no credit. All other qualifications are the same as above. Duties include:
Interns will work directly with the interpretive planner who has more than 20 years of experience in exhibit development at a variety of institutions. The interpretive planner will work with interns to develop a program that merges their educational objectives with the Zoo’s needs at that time. For more information, please contact:
