Educational resources

Tours: Private group tours are available by request. The Museum's docents will tailor their presentations to your group's age level and interests. Call 617-552-8587 at least two weeks in advance to schedule a tour. The tours are free, but there may be a security fee for tours scheduled outside the museum's regular hours.

We may also be able to provide you with additional texts or help you contact a BC faculty member with expertise in your area of interest. Contact Naomi Blumberg at 617-552-4676 or Naomi.Blumberg.1@bc.edu for assistance.

Internships: Boston College undergraduates interested in museum work can gain valuable experience by volunteering at the McMullen Museum. Staff members provide training and guidance for volunteers, and no prior experience in museums or art history is necessary. Volunteers help out with a variety of projects, including background research on upcoming exhibitions, exhibition planning and organization, special events, visitor surveys, mailings, and publicity. Student interns typically volunteer one day a week for two or three hours.

The McMullen Museum can also arrange internships for credit to meet the needs of graduate students in area Museum Studies programs. Interns can gain professional experience in curatorial research, exhibition planning, grant writing, membership development, and publications.

If you are interested in becoming an intern at the McMullen Museum, please contact Naomi Blumberg (617-552-4676, Naomi.Blumberg.1@bc.edu). We are not able to accommodate interns during the evenings or on weekends.
