Have you looked into a Masters in Public Administration?  There are
about 200 programs in the US to chose from.  The Public Administration
degree has more relevance to non-profits and especially government run
institutions than the MBA.  Your other option would be to look into a
Museum Studies degree and minor in Public or Business Administration.  I
would talk to people in several of the degree programs as well as people
in the type of museum you are interested in working in to get a better
idea of what to pursue.

Best of luck.
