It's nice to see initatives like this spring up all over the world!
Next month Wikimedia Nederland (together with Creative Commons NL) will organize a month-long 'wiki loves art' project in which 15 museums participate.

I think this is a good idea too.
You can make a pretty template for the images produced that both briefly explains the project and that also includes the Category:Wikipedia_Invades_La Plata_Natural_History_Museum. I can help you with this if you'd like.
This event documentation category would be added -in addition- to the encyclopedically-oriented Category:Museo_de_La_Plata. Possibly in the future, with a growing archive of items in the museum's collection, you will even find the need for more specific topical categories, like Category:Dinosaurs_at_Museo_de_La_Plata.
Sorry I didn't write any update since the "invasion". It was a great experience, with many new volunteers, some of them professional photographers. Many pictures have been already uploaded to Commons, under the category "Wikipedia invade el Museo de La Plata", but there are more to come. As you may see, there are photos of different quality, but many of them are really great. See for example, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Diplodocus_Carnegii.jpg
After this activity, we received many invitations from other museums, and people from the provinces are organizing their own hunts.
