Marshall Breeding's Library Technology web site has a nice search tool that lets you explore what software different libraries are using. Not sure if it includes a lot of museums and it may be heavily ILS focused versus other content tools.

An interesting question. I am not sure if there is one great source for that. You can get some idea of open source platforms from FOSS4Lib. I think Wikipedia actually has a listing of software, but not 100% sure on that. It is slightly more institutional repository focused, but the Directory of Open Access Repositories has an interesting statistics section, which I think includes a chart of what software is used in each repository. I can't speak to your Greenstone question, I'm not aware of many that use it, but there could still be a strong user group out there.  Hope that helps a little.
