Are any Museum sites out there using TMS (The Museum System from Gallery Systems) for their collections management in addition to using Drupal? If so, how are you handling the integration?

Did you receive any answers to this?
We are investigating the same and cannot find any posts...
http://www.harvardartmuseums.
http://www.harvardartmuseums.org/ is a Drupal site and integrates with "The Museum System"
Smithsonian
TchNikh, do you work for this museum, or are you a contractor?
We are using TMS and Drupal
We are using TMS and Drupal at the Dallas Museum of art. The system is still in development and not available to the public however. Our setup is actually a 3 part system. We have a server called "The Brain" That is running Django and MongoDB. Data from TMS is syncronized to this machine and combined with multimedia from our DAM. On the drupal side I have a module that talks to the brain via rest to import artworks via cron. A proxy node is created for the artworks upon sync. When an artwork node is loaded the metadata is cached into drupal.
TMS + Drupal
@TchNikh, can you please explain in more detail how it's integrated with TMS.
@cangeceiro, server called "The Brain", awesome! Will this be available to the public at some point?
Our museum site will be being transferred to Drupal in the near future and this would be an excellent tool!
Thanks!
