Metropolitan Museum of Art Fellowships in Conservation

The Metropolitan Museum of Art offers annual resident fellowships in conservation to qualified graduate students at the predoctoral level as well as to postdoctoral researchers. Fellowship applications for short-term research for senior Museum conservators are also considered. Projects should relate to the Museum’s collection. The fields of research for conservation candidates include paintings, paper, objects (including sculpture, metalwork, glass, ceramics, furniture, and archaeological objects), textiles, musical instruments, costumes, and scientific research. It is desirable that applicants for the conservation fellowship program should have reached an advanced level of experience or training.
