I think the museum idea is a wonderful idea! You should go for it. My mum volunteered at the gift shop at the hospital for years until they remodeled and did away with the gift shop. They had a soup and sandwich special daily and a lot of regulars came in for that. She is still a member of the circle at church but at 90 she doesn't do much of the work any more but they have lunch every month and she gets out and connects. Isolation is a killer. GO FOR IT!
