That is always a problem... :) However, you can start by seeing if any
museums in your area need volunteers for docents (usually guides) or
front-desk or gift-shop help on the weekends, or if any in your area are
putting on special exhibits (like here in the Denver area, the Denver
Museum of Natural History is frantically preparing for the November
opening of "Imperial Tombs of China") sometimes they can use volunteers
in the off-hours to build stuff.

If you go for a Master's, then try to find a program that *requires* an
internship, because if it does, you can get student loans to cover the
time you are doing the internship without taking any other classes (of
course, I figure this out *after* I do my internship...).
