Though, if it is not rent, but a suggested donation to a non-profit , I
believe it would not be “business” income.

You might want to check your non-profit property tax exemption status in
regard to "unrelated business income".

We have been asked if we’d rent out the museum for an evening,
by a political party, for a purported Christmas Party. We allowed it
last year, but many of our board
members now have reservations about continuing the practice.
How do other museums handle this kind of request?
