MUUS Collection Research Fellowship

MUUS Collection announced the inaugural MUUS Collection Research Fellowship at this year’s AIPAD.
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.
As a part of the $20,000 grant, MUUS Collection will provide full coverage of travel costs to the archive. The winner will be decided in October and announced at Paris Photo.
The advisory board is composed of leading curators, publishers, and directors: Nathalie Herschdorfer, Director, Photo Elysée; Sarah Meister, Executive Director, Aperture; Paul Roth, Director, Image Centre; Mark Sealy OBE, Executive Director, Autograph ABP; Sophie Wright, Executive Director, MUUS Collection.
Applications are open from May 1, 2026 until July 31, 2026. The grant will run from November 2026–November 2027.
