Whilst this might seem like a "Me Too" I sometimes wonder if Drupal might be better for a Museum Site where you want to store details of objects. There are some plug-ins that allow the creation of custom Objects which can have many attributes, and which can be listed on highly customizable view grids. I haven't used it for a museum but I did use it for a Radio Club on-line library catalogue. Each Library Item had a number of custom fields e.g. "Title", "Author" , "ISBN", "Date Published" etc. The can also contain links to items. A plug-in allows the tables containing these items to be uploaded from a CSV file.
I really like this tool.
