Are there Establishments/Museums that Collect Airguns out there......

I can see why people are reluctant to donate to museums. Many museums end up with far too much to display. Donations to museums have sometimes been sold off or scrapped. The RAF Museum has scrapped aircraft.

I don't know why more museums don't put up pics of their surplus items online. They could post 3D detailed pics or panoramas that are very satisfying to see. Like this one:

Probably afraid it will lead to reduced numbers in person (pre-Covid)...

But... they could put the online collections behind a paywall and collect eg. 50p per visitor... it could really add up if a global hit...
