Ariane,
My experience has been that larger institutions require an advanced
degree for most professional positions. For curatorial, they prefer a
Ph.D. or an MA (at a minimum). I still think that there are
opportunities in smaller musuems--where they are willing to train you.
(My thoughts)
The industry is changing and the requirements for museum jobs seem be be
more demanding. Additionally, there is a new breed of museum
professional that is knowledgeable in areas other than academia---i.e.,
fundraising, financials, community, etc.
Regards,
Jose
