Hi Cairie, I work for a university, not a museum, but we are about to implement ResourceSpace as our DAM of choice after several months of testing. It's flexible, easy to learn and easy to use, but it does have its limitations. If your DAM needs are straightforward though - describe, store, search, retrieve, download - it'll probably do the job quite well.
