It depends on what you want to be--an artist or an art historian!  If you
mean which degree would help in a museum career, you should have some idea
from your internship of what kinds of museum jobs you might be interested in.
 There is, of course, the third alternative of graduate work in museum
studies (probably the most applicable to a museum career).  I'd suggest you
interview your internship supervisor and anyone else you know who does the
kinds of things you might be interested in doing, and maybe see a career
counselor.  For more help from this list, you'd better frame your question or
questions more specifically.
