Museum Lots

I feel like museums are so under used in my game and under represented on the gallery. Does anyone have any great museum builds or great museum build ideas?

Other options include:

Natural History/Science Museum - Displays to include skeletons (human/cowplant), animal/nature dioramas, mineral and fossil collectibles, fish (live/mounted), frogs and insects along with every type of SimEarth plant in a greenhouse or botanical garden with a lab (kid chemistry sets, microscopes, analysers & any future science objects that anyone can use).

Space Centre - Displays space prints, model rockets, debug UFO, space rocks, geodes, alien collectables (live/dead), alien plants. With observatory(s) on the roof and rocket(s)/portal for public use. Could also add the spaceship jungle gym. You could combine with the above too.

Historical/Antique Museum - More museum than the gallery types in game. Add any old looking objects. Make a folly or overgrown ruins (maybe add the wishing well?) in the grounds with easels nearby for great paintings. Maybe make a ghost club that hangs out haunting the old things.

Local Celebrities - If you have any sims in that save die "famous" then add something of theirs to the museum as an exhibit (E.G. an opensided mock-up of a famous writer's study or the stage where your "rockstar" performed their last time). It's a nice reminder of past sims, and if the objects are accessible it adds things for sims to do when visiting.

I really wish we could customise the von Haunt signs to explain about each exhibit. Would be great for sharing on the gallery.

Cemeteries are another option if you use enough statuary and décor graves in between the real ones.
