Focus on quality metrics that you impacted in that space. Anything that you may have implemented to improve accuracy of delivery time, reduce misshipments, or improve tracking accuracy (en route and on site). I imagine a museum values knowing exactly where their inventory/shipments are and when it’s arriving with the sensitivity of a majority of their freight. Unless it’s just gift shop trinkets, but even then, defects cost money.

I would say focus on time managment skills, organization, and proactiviness. I'm not sure if you have enough experience but if not, focus on the big picture.
