It depends on your individual perspective.
Applying 'curator' to your care of personal possessions is a bit of a stretch. I would listen closer to that argument should you have donated the pieces to Cody or the National Firearms Museum.
There exist two flight ready Saturn V's. There's also a prototype of sorts in Huntsville that could have served the 'museum' function had the flight ready units been flown.
It's kind of nice to be able to view the preserved 'Real McCoy', but my opinion is the fact they were never flown is a national disgrace.
They never got to do what they were designed and built to do, and the key point is that humanity as a whole would have been better served had they been used as intended.
Space hardware isn't a very exact analogy but when I see an unused gun, even a pristine very rare one, I find the motivation of the previous owners to be a bit curious.
Shooters vs Collectors I suppose.
