There's someone local who's seen my assortment of computer hardware
twice and has, each time, told me I should set up a museum.

So, I'm wondering if there's anyone who'd be willing to share
experiences, thoughts, issues, whatever, on the possibility.
Maybe you could find a local museum and volunteer there, see what's
involved behind the scenes. If there is nothing close enough to your
interests offer to contribute an exhibit to a local college, or business,
or someone who has a stale display case that could use a refresh. Come up
with a plan and present it to the powers that be. This way you can get
some experience before you go full museum.
Here is an example of what I am talking about, at the U of Delaware in the
computer sci hall. I got some students to help set up.
