Anne, The Balboa Park Online Collaborative has recently selected Drupal as the CMS platform it will be developing on for its 17 members. In part, we selected this system because of its increasing popularity within the wider museum community as well as a strong local Drupal community. A quick search indicates a local group in Ottawa: http://groups.drupal.org/ottawa ... we have engaged our local community and have started hosting the San Diego Drupal User Group meeting and have had lots of interest from that community, including offers to volunteer.
We currently have 4 sites queued up for development in the next few months and we will be releasing a few pieces to the community over the next 6 months that may be of interest to you: . A Drupal-based framework for a museum website calendaring system that allows the aggregation of multi-institution event- and program-based calendar items as well the importation of external calendar items into individual site calendars. . A museum-focused Drupal-based system for the registration of event, class and program attendees. Since we have a number of different museums sites that we are working on including a Natural History Museum I think some of these might be very useful for you.
