    Hello Pranjal,

    Are you looking for internships in the US? Unfortunately, most are unpaid.  I would recommend:
    1) Signing up for MuseWeekly, where you will get a list of available internships & jobs emailed weekly (https://www.museumstudies.udel.edu/museweekly/
    2) Becoming a member of the Emerging Museum Professionals Facebook page & their related job board Facebook page. (https://www.facebook.com/NEMPNetwork/ ). Jobs & internships are posted often.
    3) Decide what kind of internship you're looking for - education, collections, development, evaluation, etc. Then just do some Google searches!! A lot of bigger museums (like the Smithsonian) get literally thousands of applications. Look into smaller museums in cities you'd enjoy living in, they need interns just as much.

    Good luck!
