research fellowship

Created in 2026, the MUUS Collection Research Fellowship comprises a $20,000 grant awarded to a curator or academic. The grant will allow the Fellow to spend time in MUUS Collection’s archives and use our new MUUSEUM Research Portal to develop an exhibition or publication concept based on works within the collections. The Fellow will also benefit from mentorship sessions with the advisory board.

The winner will be decided in October and announced at Paris Photo.

• November 2026: Finalist is publicly announced at the MUUS Collection Dinner at Paris Photo.

• November 2026—November 2027: Research Fellow performs research in the MUUS Collection archives as well as via the MUUSEUM research portal. The project completes in November 2027.
