Hi Frank-

It would depend on the structure you have in place within the organization. If you have staff with the requisite professional knowledge, you likely would be better suited to have a museum manager with a business or managerial background - provided they allow the professional staff to exercise their expertise appropriately. 

If you have a small staff within the organization where everyone is wearing mulitple hats, then it is a judgment call as to whether or not you need the historical background more than business or managerial experience. 

Just my opinion...your mileage may vary.

Just out of curiosity, I was wondering which is found more favorable when an
organization is looking for a director: someone with a historical-based
education, or someone with a business background?
