Greetings to All !!
Just curious.........
Any member-state to this forum, have a museum already established; or have plans to establish such an institution, which would display artifacts of historical interest regarding your micronation ?
The same question, with respect to an Art Gallery; which would feature various items of art, that is indigenous to your micronation ?

Sampling of art created over the years. Lots of art is a mixture of old and new. Some is commercial, or seems like commercial art, while some is less pragmatic. Some is the art of children, and some art conveys information.

Over the past 3 decades I've managed to compile a fairly substantive collection of stamps, coins, banknotes, medals, ephemera and reference material from a range of physical micronations, particularly those with Australian origins. I hope to be able to put it on public exhibition at Aurora in a dedicated museum building at some stage in the not too distant future. Longer term, I'm considering bequeathing it to the State Library of New South Wales. As far as art goes, Hutt River Principality has adorned the interior of their chapel with a group of uniformly dreadful large-format religious paintings commissioned from one of their citizens back in the 70s. They look rather like those charity greeting cards painted by amputees using only their left nostril and suchlike. You can see one of them in the background of one of the pix here. Notwithstanding its general kitchness, I believe the collection constitutes the largest art hoard of any micronation.

The ImperiuMuseum has been in existence for nearly a decade now; and displays items that are near-and-dear to the Imperial Family and Govenment.
It is a great way to display your micronation's past; as well as the fact that it is a great way to store items that you no longer need, but wish to hold on to.
The Imperial Art Gallery features works of art that were created by Citizens and Subjects of the Imperium; as well as, a few limited-edition prints, pictures, and posters from artist from all around the world. ____________________________________________

Whenever I feel the need to brighten my day, I just take another look at that aesthetic distillation of feline malevolence.
Does the trick, every time.
