Diary of an NUS Museum Intern: Huo Ran

Note: Diary of an NUS Museum Intern is a series of blog posts written by our interns about their experiences during the course of their internships. Besides working hard and fast in their cubicles, our interns have travelled to Bandung and Malacca, organised symposiums, waded through tons of historical research and pitched in during exhibition installations. It was definitely no ordinary internship for them! If you would like to become our next intern, visit our internship page for more information!

Huo Ran is a 2nd Year MA Student majoring in Southeast Asian Studies at Peking University and our 4th intern from the IARU Global Internship Programme. NUS Museum has been welcoming interns from this programme for the past 4 years and we look forward to welcoming more in the future.

I read about the IARU internship opportunity at NUS Museum on the website of my home university - Peking University. As a Southeast Asian Studies major, I immediately felt that this opportunity was right for me: NUS Museum has various exhibitions on Southeast Asian art and history (e.g., Camping and Tramping through Colonial Archive-The Museum in Malaya) and Singapore is a place I have always wanted to visit.

Call for Applications | Curating Lab 2012

NUS Museum in partnership with the National Arts Council is organising Curating Lab: Curatorial-Intensive and Internship Programme 2012, a six-month programme designed for young and aspiring curators.

The two-part programme begins with a curatorial-intensive designed as a workshop, followed by internship assignments with participating institutions and a curatorial field trip to Bandung, Indonesia. Each of the participating institutions will introduce a specific internship programme for their respective group of interns. Participants will also have an opportunity to develop a final project, to be presented at the end or after the internship period.

Please visit the Curating Lab 2012 blog for more information about the programme and how to apply.

Diary of an NUS Museum Intern: Ng Bi Ru

Note: Diary of an NUS Museum Intern is a series of blog posts written by our interns about their experiences during the course of their internships. Besides working hard and fast in their cubicles, our interns have travelled to Bandung and Malacca, organised symposiums, waded through tons of historical research and pitched in during exhibition installations. At NUS Museum, each internship is as different from the last. If you would like to become our next intern, visit our internship page for more information!

Ng Bi Ru is a 2nd-year Economics Major from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at NUS. She joined NUS Museum as an Outreach Intern, focusing on in-campus and student life outreach projects.

This is the first internship which I applied for and truth to be told, many of my friends and family asked me why I signed up for this internship when I am an Economics Major. I gave many different answers but the most common one I gave was because I had experience working in another heritage institution and thought that my job scope as as Outreach Intern at NUS Museum would be similar however; they proved to be worlds apart.
