Well, an MA in museum studies would probably be good if you want to be curator of Podunk Country History Museum. If you want to work at a big museum in a big city, not so much.
I was going to go to a museum studies MA program until I starting doing informational career interviews with museum people in NYC and DC and they all said "Get a Ph.D. if you want to go places."
Of course, we see where I ended up with the Ph.D. thing. LOL.
Agreed about the library studies will get you nowhere with museum things. Also, I would suspect that at some places/for some jobs, an MA in Art History might be more advantageous than an MA in Museum Studies.
A lot depends on what you really want to do in a museum, so the OP needs to figure that out.
