I am a fan of the UK system. Historically significant assets are free of taxes (inheritance, capital gains) provided they are available for public viewing.

That is kinda brilliant - more so that you can search from there and see what items you as the public can view and when. Heck could plan some nice days out around this - brilliant.

Can Americans transfer assets to the UK without realizing gains in order to take advantage of this?

Also - I guess this is why most of the aristocracy that live in castles open their property up to the public for a few days every year.
