Did you know about the Cartoon Museum in Boca Raton that recently closed?
It's only a few years old.  I believe it's still looking for new residents.
Maybe you could make some sort of arrangement with them?

> The most popular cartoon characters in the United States -- and the
> recipients of a four-month tribute at New York's Museum of Modern Art
> -- are the subject of an exhibition now available.
>
> "The Art of Warner Bros. Cartoons" is a comprehensive overview of a
> legendary Hollywood animation studio, the rambunctious birthplace of
> characters who have become part of American folklore.  As The New
> York Times said in its review of the exhibition's catalogue: "Life in
these
> United States would be inconceivable without the shared referent of Bugs
> Bunny, Tweety and Sylvester, the Road Runner and the
> Coyote, the Tasmanian Devil, Marvin the Martian, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd,
> Yosemite Sam," and the other classic Warner characters.
>
> Since their debut in 1930, the "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies"
> of Warner Bros. have delighted audiences young and old with their wit
> and suprising sophistication.  Indeed, the pre-eminence of the
> Warner  studio was certified by a recent "People" magazine poll, in
> which the magazine's readership named Bugs Bunny as "Best puppet or
> cartoon character."  Just two Warner characters -- Bugs and the Road
> Runner -- captured 24% of the vote.
>
> Further, in recent years the seven-minute cartoons have earned both
> critical and popular acclaim as America's finest, funniest and most
> inventive animated shorts.  Evidence of this came in 1985, when
> Warner Bros. became the first cartoon-makers of any kind to be given
> a full-scale retrospective by New York's Museum of Modern Art.
>
> The four-month exhibition proved extremely popular, generating more
> press response for MoMA's film department than any other show it has
> undertaken.
>
> Originally shown in theaters, the Warner shorts developed new
> audiences with the rise of television in the 1950's.  Many people
> under the age of 45 have seen these cartoons literally hundreds of
> times as they were growing up.  Yet most of these viewers are
> unfamiliar with the actual artwork from which these films were
> created.
>
> "The Art of Warner Bros. Cartoons" is a greatly expanded version of the
MoMA
> show.  It consists of over 160 drawings, paintings, "cels," and related
art
> objects used in the making of Warner's classic cartoons, concentrating on
> the studio's "Golden Age" -- roughly 1935 through 1955.
>
> Text panels and other educational elements explore Warner cartoons' role
in
> the history of American culture, and trace the development of
> all the studio's cartoon stars.  One section of the exhibition shows
> how classic "cel" animation was made, using actual production artwork
> to illustrate every step of the process.
>
> The size of the show is highly flexible, as the exhibition's
> approximately 80 frames can be spread out or bunched together
> easily.  Moreover, laser disks are available, if museums care to
> supplement the show with any number of video monitors as would be
> desired, to present finished cartoons on-site.  The wondrous music,
> voices and sound-effects associated with Warner cartoons makes this a
> hugely lively installation.  All told, the show is most comfortable
> is spaces ranging from 2,500 to 4,000 square feet.
