The Brewery Museum 'De Snoek' (The Pike) in Alveringem (Flanders,
Belgium) has extensively used braille on every exhibit. It's a 19th
century museum and maltings, transformed into a museum, and managed by an
excellent group of volunteers.
Unfortunately they don't have e-mail access, but their address is:
Brouw- en Mouthuis 'De Snoek'
Fortem 40
