College Partnership

College Partnerships offer universities, colleges, and independent schools special benefits and learning opportunities while providing a diverse range of collaborations that support students, faculty, and museum visitors. These collaborations have included: the development and presentation of exhibitions, often with companion installations that feature work by students; courses at schools that make use of the Museum’s galleries and collections to encourage exploration of new ideas, histories, and cultures; and internships that help students gain real world, hands-on experience in the museum field.
