It sounds like a fantastic opportunity--I have had several friends who acted as assistants to directors of major museums and it's a prestigious position with great responsibility and opportunity for growth.  More importantly, since you will be working with all departments, it's a great chance to get an overview of the operations of an art museum as well as to learn about all aspects of curatorial matters.

Take it, and good luck and congratulations to you!
