Small private collection museums simply aren't feasible. If they were, every other collector would have one. The closest thing that we'll ever see to a dedicated, permanent TMNT museum is Rancho Obi Wan, and I'm pretty sure Steve Sansweet is pretty independently wealthy.

Now smaller touring museum exhibits would be cool, but I honestly don't think she has the collection to do it. Now TMNT prop guru Geoff, that's a museum exhibit I'd go see.

A good friend of mine is going through a similar sounding scenario-- paying monthly storage units to house a nerd collection while his life and finances are circling the toilet drain. There's a relief valve his younger self purchased that could be auctioned, but instead he wants to lose his home. It's very sad.
