What is a Museum without YouTube? Looks like reviewed the YouTube channels for museums. I like Moma's Channel. The videos that give a peek behind the scenes at the museum have the most views, like this one of another sculpture installation. The IMA has a YouTube Channel too that uses a slightly different approach.

When I graduated in 2003, I moved out here to California and worked with the San Jose Museum of Art before getting a job with Linden Labs. While I was in grad school at U-Denver, I worked with C-SPAN, the non-profit cable channel, in a very cool long-distance education program. I learned a lot from San Jose Art Museum.

Here's the basic idea: while you are at the museum, you save digitizable content--either content you make (photos of yourself) or content you collect (museum-supplied text or media of interest). The personal webpage has many adherents, and some institutions, like The Tech Museum in San Jose, have been offering them for almost a decade.
