There's a pretty interesting book called the Anatomy of Fascism by Robert O. Paxton. It outlines and explains these points and more thoroughly, but strongly suggests there is no one concrete definition of fascism because of the dynamic nature of practical application. That's not to say that everything is a reflection of fascism, but that it's why you don't notice it until it's too late.
There's an old quote that says [to paraphrase] fascism doesn't arrive with boots and tanks, it slowly creeps into your neighborhoods and grows like cancer.
The list was for sale in the gift shop, not on display at the museum, and is no longer available at that venue.
The list was originally created by Laurence Britt in 2003, for an article published by Free Inquiry magazine (a publication for secular humanist commentary and analysis). While subsequent postings of the list often attribute it to “Dr. Laurence Britt,” the author said that he was not actually a doctor (nor did he claim to be). Britt himself said that he could be more accurately described as an amateur historian

This was at the museum, but an item in the gift shop.

While I'd love to agree with the title, it is not entirely true.
