One thing you don't mention is the level of technical expertise at your museum, and whether you are looking for something you would bring up/maintain in house or would like to have hosted. That might be a way to narrow the many good recommendations that have been made here. Cost may also be a factor: are you looking at commercial options or strictly Open Source?
I am personally a fan of Sharepoint 2010 - 2013 which does pretty much everything you're looking for and for which there are many hosted options if you don't want to do it yourself. It does require intrastructure and, even if hosted, someone who's willing to become an expert on the ins and out (but that's probably true of anything you're looking at).
