In reply to graves in museums:

If I remember the folklore correctly, in Rochester, Minnesota, the owners of Mayowood, one of the Mayo clinic founders, and his wife were burind on the site.  After his death the house became a museum operated by the Olmstead County Historical Society.

This is not exactly the criteria you have mentioned, but certainly close enough for a brief mention.

============================

Peter:

The Norwegian Olympic ice skating star of the 1930s to 1950s, Sonja Henie,
is buried in a simple prehistoric-style tomb overlooking the main entrance
of the (quite outstanding) Henie-Onstad Arts Centre and  Museum. Located on
the outskirts of Oslo, this was founded by Henie and her husband Nils
Onstad to house both their modern art collection and Henie's competition
trophies, as well as to provide performing arts facilities etc.
