Dear Ms. [name]
I am writing to apply for the student internship position at [name] Art Museum. I was very excited when my former supervisor as well as the present director of your museum, [name], suggested me this opportunity. The role is very appealing to me because the range of qualities for various responsibilities and the language skills required for this post accord well with my specialty and educational credentials.

I am currently majoring art curating, with a minor in education, and will receive my master degree in January 2020. During my undergraduate studies, I completed professional qualifications both as a community education supervisor and a curator. While I have a comprehensive education studies and museum studies background, my emphasis is on curating Taiwanese and Japanese art history. I feel that your museum and coming exhibitions place prominence in similar areas, hence having the privilege of serving as an intern with you will increase my learning opportunities and give me the exposure I need to advance my career as a curator while using what I have already learned through related courses and practical training.

I previously held an internship at Museum of National Taipei University of Education, serving as an assistant curator. During that internship, I had the opportunity to conduct research on female Japanese artists from Meiji period to contemporary era, their art works, and the social and historical backgrounds. I also assisted the shows as a museum registrar, working with curators, artists, and collection managers to select and loan Japanese art works. I believe that my knowledge of Japanese modern art history, my experience of exhibition management, and my great communication skills to work in a team with a wide range of backgrounds could be of interest to you, as I read that you are looking to grow your exhibition department for the coming shows related to Japanese art.

As a museum registrar and an assistant curator, I am confident working with exhibition department to assist the coming two exhibitions, [name] and [name]. I believe that my educational background and experience in art and education fields will make me a very competitive candidate for this position.

Please review my attached resume, [name] Internship Application Form, a certificate of enrollment, and a college transcript for additional details regarding my expertise and achievement.

I would like very much to have an interview with you and to discuss my qualifications and interest in working at [name] Art Museum. You can reach me by phone [] or by e-mail [].

Thank you very much for taking the time to consider my application.

Yours sincerely,
Akari
