>Is the Shroud of Turin the real shroud used to wrap Jesus at his burial? Pretty much certainly not. That said, it is still clearly historically significant.

Clearly it is not something worthy of a museum then. A fake thing being old doesn't make it historically significant for a museum. A church, maybe.

Relics are important for understanding the medieval period's interwoven trade and pilgrimage.

No relics? less travel? Slower "flatten the curve" back plague? Smaller renaissance? Weaker atheism today? :O

No one said fake + old = museum worthy. There's far more to the Shroud of Turin's history that makes it museum worthy.
