I like the idea of turning artifacts in at museums in exchange for some kind of currency....keeping with that theme, maybe the currency we get could be used for some kind of 'museum' storage of our own.

I'm thinking of something akin to void storage, but geared more to things like tabards or holiday items that can't (at least currently, unless things have changed since I last checked) be stored in void storage.

Or perhaps the currency in some form could become an alternative to spending 25g for a void storage slot - really this would amount to exactly what we have now - selling a grey archaeology item to a vendor then buying a void storage slot. But it just never seems as painful when we're not spending 'real money'. Ok, real game money in this case.

The idea of museum storage at least somewhat keeps with the idea of archaeology. We discover game lore, as well as also contributing and preserving our own place in the history of Azeroth. Perhaps achievements linked to particular items could pop up like tool tips in the personal museum storage, like the sign next to the exhibit in a RL museum.
