The internship interview was conversational and friendly. There weren't any tricky questions, it was more of a chance for us to get to know each other and for me to talk about my interests. It was just a single interview with one person for the application process.

Got an email from my direct supervisor after 3 weeks to come in for an in-person interview. It went well, and then the museum's internship coordinator reached out after another 3 weeks from the interview. The whole process was pretty smooth.
