Is there any gameplay value to a museum?
I have been checking out my EA-placed museums, and they just seem to have a few paintings and sculptures that you can "view". Is there some advantage to having them or visiting them? Has anyone done...

I stocked one of the museums withall(many) the collectables and am working on adding all the different paintings . That way I can save all the collections for future sims. I hate that when having finished a collection and I no longer play that family the collection is gone. This way different sims can contribute to the museum .
Now THAT is one amazing idea that never occurred to me, and actually is pretty much what real museums are for. I haven't been bothering with making collections, but this idea might just give me a reason to do so. How do you transfer the collection from belonging to your sim to belonging to the museum?
You just have your Sim visit the museum with the collectible in his/her inventory, and you can drag it from their inventory to the display case. I was doing something similar in a previous save, with all the various collectibles in a private museum for my alien club, but I got tired of that save. I may steal that idea myself; I have a basement room in the library that's unused so that might be a great spot for my collection room, and I usually have my teens do The Curator where they're collecting a lot of stuff so that would be a good place for them to add to the collection.
