Hi Andrew,

Check out Arizona State University's graduate degree in Anthropology
and Museum Studies.  I thought it was very well rounded when I went
through (1995-1998).  I know the director planned to shift the Museum
Studies focus a bit, more towards Museum Anthropology.  They've hired a
new professor and it looks like it will only get better in the coming years.
