I did it with my books, but a good, comprehensive presentation of the history of Tiki in tangible, right-in-front-of-you form would also be a nice project. The recent Forest Lawn exhibition is a step in the right direction, it is full of beautiful stuff, but it is lacking in context beyond a mere assembly of desirable objects. The evolution, the social and historic connections, the WHY could be nicely demonstrated with the right combination of artifacts. Sophista-Tiki has been thinking about it here on TC, and a central foundation that takes tax deductible donations could be a gathering point for orphaned Tiki collections and a beginning for a museum. That is how classic museums were formed.
