A resource that *possibly* may help you. ... http://museumstuff.com

Go to the museum search area, then to United States museums, simple search
- (or power search, but that's not required for keyword searches). - If you
search for keywords such as "community" or "public" or perhaps even
"center" you will be presented with a hefty list of museums, with links to
their websites.

I just tried it, and I found about 50-100 matches for each keyword. I
quickly eyeballed the results, and I'm guessing that 25 percent might
actually be relevant. However, there is a handy description of each museum
along the link, making the screening easier.

This is, BTW, a wonderful example of the kind of real world functionality
that the Museumstuff.com search can offer. A database built by hand, by a
REAL PERSON, not a searchbot. With special keywords included, to aid in the
identification of museums that offer specific features.

And yes, it is my site. And yes again, I always enjoy feedback about it,
both the good and the bad.
