Hi Neal, While not specifically a museum, the UK¹s Your Paintings Tagger from the Public Catalogue Foundation is a really good recent example of social tagging on art history collections.
http://tagger.thepcf.org.uk In addition, their excellent work on Art Detective is not strictly social tagging, but uses similar principles to crowdsource more specific (and arguably useful) information about "lightly documented" works of art. http://www.thepcf.org.uk/artdetective/ Hope these are useful additions to your list!
