Who we are
Together, the de Young and Legion of Honor make up the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. We are community spaces that connect people, art, and ideas from around the globe.
Welcome to FAMSF
Our values
We aspire to be diverse, inclusive, equitable, accessible, welcoming, engaging, insightful, inspiring, reliable, creative, generous, and fun.
We want to provide our audiences with an inclusive and equitable lens on historic and contemporary issues, and our staff with an inclusive and equitable workplace. With this in mind, we are committed to strengthening our employee community by actively and intentionally seeking a diverse workforce. We encourage all who are interested to apply.

We offer a wide range of opportunities across museum departments, including in curatorial, conservation, visitor experience, retail, education, design, development, digital, exhibitions, events, facilities, marketing, administration, and more.

- Paid time off (sick, vacation, and holiday)

Internships
We offer paid internships to emerging professionals — undergraduate, graduate students, or recent graduates — who are interested in art and museum careers, and passionate about equity and inclusion. Interns work directly with museum staff to support departmental goals and on individual projects that support their personal and professional goals. Interns participate in training sessions, professional development, and talks from leaders in the field. They gain knowledge of museum careers and culture, receive mentorship from full-time museum staff, receive hands-on project experience and feedback, and join a network of emerging museum professionals.
We value diversity in all its forms: culture, race, ethnicity, disability status, language, gender expression, religion, sexuality, and beyond. Candidates from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in the arts and museum fields are encouraged to apply.
Information about our annual summer internship program will be available each winter. Please check back for details and to apply online.
Volunteer
We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities.
