Hi Cheryl,
The journal Museums & Social Issues published a quarterly, What is Race?, Vol. 2 N. 1, Spring 2007. It looks at how museums approached the topic of race to that time. I know back issues are available through Left Coast Press.

Cheryl --The American Anthropological Association's exhibit "Race: Are We So Different?" (a traveling show now on view at the National Museum of Natural History) is a good example of an exhibit rooted in current scholarship that is also accessible, informative and engaging to a wide range of visitors from grade schoolers on up. There is a website that accompanies it. http://www.understandingrace.org/
