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.

http://davidgerard.co.uk/notes/2009/12/28/dear-museums-help-me-to-help-you/ I emailed them asking how to give them a chunk of cash and got no answer in a month. Same from their Twitter.
