I work part-time for a small Jewish museum that is entirely privately funded. Suffice to say that it is a teriffic struggle financially. We have a building that is in a historic house, but isn't really a historic house museum, i.e. we don't use the building as a centerpiece of interpretation. We have nine staff members, 1 full time, 4 three quarters time, and 4 half time, plus contract help when needed.
