Internship in an (Art) Museum?

Question

I study Art History with English and Archaeology as minors and I am about to start my master's thesis. Now I'm looking for a museum where I could do an internship for several weeks or months, because I am not sure yet, what I'd like to do after my graduation. I have looked online, but so far I haven't been able to find any internships in Art or History Museums. Does anybody know where to look or do you know a museum which needs an intern?

Update:

I live and study in Leipzig, Germany. Where do they need an Intern in Stanford and do they accept foreigners?

If that would not paintings, commence thinking approximately what you may desire to actual do on the museum and hit upon a matching non-museum job. You suggested cashier and receptionist the two a sort of jobs are exceptionally hardship-unfastened exterior of museums. develop your adventure someplace else so as that as quickly as there are openings at your community museums you have the degree and a few suitable adventure with transferable skills.

Yes, there are many museums looking for interns, especially at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C.
