IMS (Institue of Museum Services) uses the following categories for
defining museums in their grant applications:
Aquarium
Arboretum/Botanical Garden
Art
Children's/Youth
General (two or more disciplines represented equally)
Historic House/Site
History
Natural History/Anthropology
Nature Center
Planetarium
Science/Technology
Zoo
Specialized (limited to one narrowly defined discipline)
Hope that this helps!
