Art internships abroad in St Petersburg

Immerse yourself in the history and culture of one of the best cities in the world and choose to intern in St Petersburg! Our internship program gives you the opportunity to become a part of volunteering team working in the arts and museum fields. We are currently providing internship placements at the largest museum in St. Petersburg, the Hermitage Museum.

The Hermitage museum

It is one of the largest and most famous museums in the world, located in St. Petersburg, Russia and is an important cultural center with a unique collection of art, archaeological finds and historical exhibits.
The Hermitage’s collections number more than 3 million pieces, including works by masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Van Gogh and many others.
It is also actively engaged in scientific research, exhibitions and educational activities.
The museum offers a wide range of volunteer programs for students who wish to become a part of its work. And this is a great opportunity for volunteers to immerse themselves in Russia’s rich cultural environment.

Volunteering in archaeological expeditions and research

For volunteers with an interest in archaeology and history, the Hermitage can offer participation in archaeological expeditions conducted as part of research on the museum’s collections. This is especially relevant for students and professionals in archaeology, history and culture.

Support in organizing international exhibitions and projects

The Hermitage regularly organizes international exhibitions, often with the participation of foreign museums and cultural institutions. Volunteers can help with logistics, organizing exhibitions and liaising with international partners.

Group and Tourist Escort Program

Foreign volunteers can assist with guided tours for international groups. This includes helping to organize visits, translating and explaining in different languages.

Programs to support educational programs

Volunteers can help organize educational courses for museum visitors, as well as workshops and lectures.

Internship package includes:

Internship placement at the Hermitage
Individual practice selection
Experience in different spheres
Personal manager
Visa assistance

Combining an internship with language learning

You also have the opportunity to combine an internship at the Hermitage with Russian language courses.

Our courses provide a unique experience for those who want to improve their language skills while immersing themselves in the culture and art of one of the world’s most famous museums. Students will not only be able to learn Russian, but also practice it in a real-life setting, working in a cultural center like the Hermitage.
This is a great opportunity for foreigners who want to deepen their knowledge of the Russian language, improve communication, and learn about Russian history and art.

You can choose the most convenient time for your lessons and choose your own schedule so that you can devote time to both learning and immersion in the language environment with daily practice.
