O.k here goes,
I had to think about this and I have made some assumptions;
Assumption #1. budget no issue, therefore a/c to be indoors.
Assumption #2. Museum is in the U.S, therefore U.S bias on a/c.
Assumption #3. modification of a surviving a/c to a different varient is ok.
A/C in
bold are as per list of 'already haves'.
