Don't many museums accept items on loan? Which is to say, they'll display them for an agreed upon time and return them rather than claim ownership?

That doesn't solve the problem of where to put it in the long term.

If the item is truly antique and display worthy, it can be accepted in “permanent loan.”

Most of the art you see in museums is technically on permanent loan.

Ostensibly, you could keep loaning them out...
