I agree, if you need more information I would take a look at:
http://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/conserveogram/cons_toc.html

There are a ton of conserve-o-grams on the topic of pest control, the
dangers of various pesticides that could already be on the tree or that you
would have to use, etc.

Is there a space outside the museum where you could set it up? That could
make for a festive welcome to the museum.
