[see my suggestion for the whole sentence]
The exhibition uses the very latest display technology.
A literal translation of all three items in the list doesn't work because there's too much overlap between them in English, and you don't need to include the word "museum" because it's obvious from the context.

: "equipment"; note that "museographic" is suspiciously common in translations from Fr, Sp, and Port.

: Jim is right - the word does exist, but it's not in common use and most of the Google hits are bad translations.

museum facilities
"equipo museográfico" cannot be equipment here because the writer states that they are being occupied. Sometimes the word is used to indicate "installations" - not in the sense of exhibition installations, but in the sense of other facilities that museums now include: a library, auditorium, video /internet rooms, classroms, lecture halls, restauration, storage, and workshop facilities, planetariums, etc., not to mention shops and cafeterias. If you look at the pdf noted below, especially page 5, you will see its use as both installation and facility. As installations already appear in the list, I would opt for facilities. http://www.revista.unam.mx/vol.10/num11/art72/art72.pdf
