I once heard a wonderful description that went something like: a small
museum is a place where the Executive Director frequently takes on garbage
and vacuuming duties.
I'd say, if you wear at least 3 different hats, have less than 10,000 square
feet, and a 6 figure budget, odds are you are a small museum.

PS- we should maybe think about defining both medium and tiny museums, too!
ha, ha.
