Collections Management at the National Air and Space Museum

MUSE student, Kiera Schneider spent her summer interning at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C.

This summer I interned with the Collections Processing Unit at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. Through my internship I learned how to conduct condition surveys, rehouse artifacts for transportation/permanent storage and photograph artifacts for the museum’s database. I also enjoyed having the opportunity to visit many of the other museums in D.C. on my days off. I had an amazing experience learning more about collections management and look forward to applying everything I learned in my future career path!
