To the person who was seeking information on an undergraduate degree in
museum studies:  reconsider.  The value of an undergraduate degree in
"something" is that you learn how to learn about a specific subject.
You gain a background of knowledge that will serve you (most likely at
surprising times) over and over again in your career.  Museum Studies is
a broad area, and you learn about dozens of things.  But in such
programs you rarely spend a lot of time learning just one thing.  The
undergraduate degree in a subject area allows you to do that before you
learn "museum stuff."

The others who have advised you about internships and such are right.
You can get museum experience without being in a structured program.
And, most museum graduate programs won't look at you without some sort
of museum experience.

Great field to be in, but there are many ways to get there.
