Channa,
I saw your note on Museum-L and thought I could help.  New England Technology
Group has prepared a number of interactives for the USA Gallery of the
Australian National Maritime Museum.  A variation of our Timeline program ( a
timeline of the Aus-Am relationship) was modified for the Museum of Tolerance
in Los Angeles to interpret the Rodney King beating.  It won an award at the
most recent American Association of Museums meetings.  They are very good at
what they do and are used to working with museums around the world.  The
contact info is:

I don't have an e-mail address for them.
 
We have videos of the interactive that might be of interest if your looking at
designing ones for your institution.
 
I hope this is of some use.
