In Dan Brown's DaVinci Code - the Louvre is a central site and in his book Angels and Demons the Vatican Secret Archives is featured. Also, Nick Bantock's The Venetian's Wife starts in a museum and the central character is a paintings conservator - he also has another book set in a museum, but I can't recall the name. There is a great list at Conservation online listing books, movies, etc. with heritage settings and workers.
