museum? that's a hard one.. best bet is to make a donation to the museum of your choice and donate the works. most likely the works will be stored though. unless your donation is huge and you talk to a curator and the secretary of the museum about a show.. which can take years and most times is put on the back burners.
copyright is much easier.

this site can help you with many mediums of creation.
i wish you luck.
in order for your works to be seen... get the illustrators or artists market books (they're indexes of places that publish, accept and display art) here: www.writersdigest.com
the page is: http://www.writersdigest.com/store/booksearch.asp?category=Market+Books
and you can get it at amazon.com also... actually many places carry the market books..
these books are extremely helpful resources.

also you may wish to look at private galleries and mom and pop galleries.. they're small.. don't pay... you may have to purchase space for a small fee...
larger galleries are much harder... again with the donations... buying space to a gallery that will make the time and space for you (that can range from $10,000 on up) and is a time efforted venture.
start out small.. make a name for yourself.. it's fun and rewarding this way than to go right out and try to get somewhere with the big guys.
go to google.com is a resource of information unparalelled you can start by looking for art sites. magazines and places with small galleries.. independant galleries and virtual galleries.

as soon as you sign your piece of artwork, it is copyrighted. As for the museum part.. you have to know the right people to start with. If you don't have that option then you have to start looking for other options. I ended up having my artwork displayed in the Dallas Museum of Art, b/c my teacher entered me into a contest that included students from the whole US. My piece was one that made it into the final how ever many. Things like that.

Complete copyrighting can only be done by supplying the Library of Congress with a copy (photo, plans, description, etc.), of the work to be protected. There is an application and a fee for each item/work to be registered. Contrary to Renate's response, you can't simply write "copyright" on everything and expect it to be safe. However, the whole process is a bit useless since there is no federal copyright law, and the laws vary from state to state, making actual protection rather spotty.

An artist automatically owns the copyright on their art, no legal action is required.
As for a museum - or even a gallery (the step that comes before museum) you need to pound the pavement and sell your art. If your art is good, and desirable, it will sell itself. It's hard work and be prepared for disappointment.
Gallery owners know their buyers - choose galleries that sell similar styles at a similar price.

Copyrigthing is not problem just write copyright and the date and your name on the back.
Getting you are into a museum is the difficult part. You have to be very good and your stuff has to have sold for exorbitant prices
