The following web page, Applied & Interactive Theater Guide - Theater of
the Oppressed, lists contacts and lists theaters that use that technique:
http://csep.sunyit.edu/~joel/boal.html

You could contact these theaters and ask if they've collaborated with any
museums.  Headlines Theater, for example, did a workshop for docents at the
Vancouver Holocaust Center to help students understand an exhibition.

Best wishes,
Jodi Gronborg
