Dude are children allowed to scream in a library? No, they are immediately told to shut up or leave. Museums are very much the same.
When I was a child my parents often took me to museums and art galleries (both in Toronto and abroad). The second I started something my mother would shoot me the death stare. Knowing full well I would get a beating if I kept it up, I shut up.
Suggest you do the same if your children are out of control.
OT - I am afraid public libraries are getting rather laissez faire nowadays - even the adults are starting to behave like children. To be fair, libraries aren't really libraries of old, it's more a social destination - and there are still quiet zones most of the time.
As to visiting museums as a kid - honestly, half the time I wish my adults would just shut up, pay attention, stop coddling and asking me stupid questions (yes, I was one of those).
As a child, I was a huge fan of the IKEA play room. I remember crying when they told me I was too tall for the ball pit... Anyway great idea for museums. They can make it educational as well as fun.
All I remember from those is the urge to take those plastic balls from the ballpit home.
