Aldona:

My favorite movies are the Indiana Jones set that, while rarely set in
museums, repeatedly have the main character admonishing others that
important historical artifacts "should be in a museum."

Oceans 11 had Julia Roberts as a private art museum curator.

There was a novel entitled "Museum" that came out--I think--in the 1980s.

Keep up the good work.
