FWIW, my read of the law is that there's no basis to be worried about
this. The only restrictions I saw are on *export* or *sale*, not on
mere proximity or even usage.

Alternative alternative: NB could decide to start its own museum.

AFAIU the current discussion, that's the value proposal of this to NB

Perhaps there are more such things worthy of more active display?
(E.g. perhaps the stuff from Arse & Open House?)
