Maybe a little macabre, but for museums that ate going to be closed, how about giving each a "going away party" on location, including: * taking pictures of objects before they vanish in some storage never to see the light of day again * giving museum employees a Wikipedia introduction (talks and/or practical editing) * creating/expanding articles related to the museum's topics/objects, or at least making a high-profile "wanted topics" list My aim here is not to plunder the poor museums, but to show them (and us) that not all is lost, and there are other people and places (like Wikipedia) to keep the topics alive.
