Is it? The thing is huge - and unless its safe enough for kids to crawl all around the inside of it (which I doubt), how exactly would you make it into a museum, when it's so large you can't even see hardly any of it?

Are people supposed to just stand on the ground and look up?

Also, where would you put it? Popular museums are usually in reasonably settled areas, there's just no space for something this large.

Not to mention, how would you even get it there?

Lots of warships are now museums, and those were never intended to be kid safe. Just rope off the sketchier bits and tell people to be careful. Not everything needs to be totally safe. A little danger builds character, whether it's falling off the monkeybars or knocking your head when jumping through a narrow hatch in a submarine (that hurts!)
