Yes, odd that. What do other museums do?

Well, it rather depends. Some museums show bones of dinosaurs, stuffed
walruses (walri?), a collection of moths, a few skulls. Others have
artefacts from Egypt (usually a mock up of The Invisible Man), coins
and incomplete sculptures (full sculptures cost too much).
They have cabinets in common; lots of cabinets made of glass. Doors,
ceilings... everything.
You should go one day.
I did once. And I was also a Trustee of a charity that owned a building
that housed a museum.
