Dustin,

I don't think you'll find any science museums that regard evolution as
"controversial." The ASTC board adopted a statement two years ago clarifying
this. You can find this statement and other resources here: 
http://www.astc.org/resource/education/evolution.htm

You can also find on our site an article by Martin Weiss, frequent
contributor to this list, "Beyond the Evolution Battle: Addressing Public
Misunderstanding."  
http://www.astc.org/pubs/dimensions/2006/mar-apr/index.htm

I imagine others are writing to you directly with responses to your specific
questions -- some visitors do object or come with alternative accounts, for
example. Some of the links on our site will lead to resources that have been
developed to help museum staff respond.
