SKINNER MUSEUM: Closed
GiveStudents
Welcome to your Museum! Every year, the Museum employs 25-30 students, welcomes 150 class visits across 30 disciplines, and hosts student events such as the Senior Class Night at the Museum and the Queer + Trans open mic.
We encourage you to get involved! All student positions at the Museum are paid – including receptionists, guides, and interns – and offer unique behind-the-scenes experiences with our collection and professional staff. We also invite student organizations to collaborate with the Museum. We can develop customized tours and activities for any campus group interested in a special gathering in our lobby or galleries.

Curatorial Intern Juliana Cordero ’18 is a book lover. Her affinity for books is so strong, in fact, that she hopes to pursue a career as a book conservator. Here, she shares her favorite books from a collection of nearly 70 artists’ books by women recently gifted to MHCAM by Marjorie (Jerry) Cohn ’60. Cohn, a long-time conservator and curator at the Fogg Museum, amassed this wondrous collection over 25 years. Feminist themes abound in these books, through comedy, tragedy, and the commonplace. Read on…Cordero’s picks are laugh-out-loud funny!
