Design Museum Boston is seeking a 3D Design Intern to join our team this summer and assist us in designing, developing and fabricating exhibitions and other program elements.

Our exhibitions need to be designed to pop-up quickly, travel, and most importantly educate and delight our audience. The 3D design intern will tackle challenges at multiple levels that are specific to Design Museum Boston’s unique approach to delivering educational content.
