I wouldn't recommend anyone, unless you're rich or have external funding, to pursue an unfunded MA program... Especially if there are some amazing fully-funded MA programs available out there. If your ultimate goal is to pursue a PhD, take a year off, read, improve your application materials, take graduate-level courses at a nearby institution, work on your language skills... There are so many people I know that benefit from such a decision, and are accepted to fully funded PhDs next season. Given the precarious job situation, we shouldn't fall into years debt for a graduate program in the humanities. 

Dear all
I feel your anxiety and uncertainness as it was mine. I haven't received news from all my graduate programs, except for an acceptance (although I'm not sure about the funding). I just want to wish to all of us that everything will take its time and right place!

@AspiringHistorian97 Unfortunately in the arts and humanities full or even partial funding for Master's degrees is quite difficult to come by; usually funding is earmarked for PhD programs. There are some schools that offer some sources of partial funding through assistantships or scholarships. For example, the University of Kansas offers an MA and Graduate Certificate in Museum studies and the University as a whole offers some limited funding for master's students.
A great resource is the American Alliance of Museums. They have a pretty comprehensive directory of reputable museum related undergrad and grad programs that you can search by location, degree type, full time/part-time status and discipline.  As a side note though I'm sure you've found this in your research: museum studies and curatorial studies programs often have a significant amount in common, so if you're not finding museum studies programs you like you may try searching for curatorial studies programs.
Hope this helps!

This is exactly what I'm doing this year, so I hope it works out!

Contacting POIs is something that is more important in the sciences than in the humanities due to the way funding is handled. Some programs in the humanities also have policies on whether or not they're allowed to reply to your inquiry in order to keep things neutral. Part of this could be the reason that you're not getting a response. Also, professors are incredibly busy people and it's midterm season so a lot of them have their focus on that.

Regarding reapplying, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't re-apply. Each committee is going to have different things they consider important and will weigh things differently. Their interests in the department could also change. They could be looking for something that a previous class lacks and each cohort's pool with be different from the previous year.
I see that you applied to a wide range of programs last year. What specifically are you interested in studying? History, Art History and Anthropology have very different approaches.
