[ih] Berlin Internet Museum

[Brian E Carpenter]

Good list. But why a physical museum? Sounds more like an on-line book.

Of course there's already a lot out there, e.g.

http://xbbn.weebly.com/bbn-internet-engineering-timeline.html
http://inthistory4u.blogspot.co.nz/2010/08/1969.html

or even

and local ones such as
