NEMO Political Internships in Museums with MEP Julie Ward at the Bonnefantenmuseum
Channel: NEMO - Network of European Museum Organisations
Date: 2018-09-06

On 25 May 2018, the first instance of NEMO Political Internships in Museums at a European level took place. Julie Ward, MEP and member of the CULT committee, was the first politician to take part in the programme. She spent an afternoon at the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht, The Netherlands, where she got to experience most jobs found within a museum.

The Network of European Museum Organisations, NEMO, has launched the museum advocacy initiative with the objective of showcasing museums’ social importance to politicians and other stakeholders. NEMO also hopes to give politicians a greater understanding of museum work. The internship programme is inspired by the Netherlands Museums Association’s very successful scheme of political internships.
