I haven't looked at it too closely, but all big cities will have tons 
of museums of varying sizes, exhibits, and prestige.  I have added a 
Chicago Memorial Museum of Art (CMMA) myself (which was originally 
put together by some business men and academics who survived the BB 
by not being there but missed their hometown and what was lost).

Also, if you don't think a significant permanent exhibit would be 
somewhere, there is always the possibility of a traveling exhibit. 
Often, large prestigous collections travel to other museums for 
several months at a time -- this could give you whatever you are 
looking for.

Another thing to consider is the variations of security levels.  High 
end places will have delta secuirty staff -- others will have little 
money to spend on that type of security.  The CMMA, suprisingly, 
shuns delta security and relies on electronic and normal staffing.

I'm just the opposite.  I read those bits first.

Nor would I.  But at least one of the PCs would, if he thought it 
worthwhile.  ;)
