Melanie,

Two sources that I've worked with come to mind. The first is the National
Science Foundation, at
http://www.nsf.gov/news/now_showing/museum.jsp. And the other is NASA, at
www.nasa.gov where you can search by topic or by each of the dozen or so
Space Centers that NASA operates around the U.S. One example that comes to
mind is the Sally Ride Science Festival For Girls at
http://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/events/2005/sallyride.html. Even if that is
not available, if you contact them, or their Education Office, they will
usually help you out or even be open to collaborating with you to custom
design an exhibit.
