The Field Museum in Chicago has a traveling chocolate exhibit that features
labels in both English and Spanish. They were well done. In addition, the
Arizona Sonora Desert Museum has good bilingual (English-Spanish) signage for
most or all their exhibits.

Is there an institution  that does signage in multiple languages really well?

And by that I mean they  don't just have twice the signs - one in English, 
one in Spanish - they have  figured out ways to convey the info without 
bombarding people with  text?
