Hi Mike,
A while ago I worked on the National Museums Online Learning Project and wrote what we called webquests to curate objects from nine national museum online collections for schools learning resources.
They're a bit buried on the various museums websites now, but the lead was the V&A and you should be able to find more webquests via this one: http://nmolp.vam.ac.uk/webquests/launch.php?webquest_id=7&partner_id=va
