Looking for a museum for #1010 JD H

I have a restored 1939 JD H #1010. I would like to loan this tractor to a museum for an exhibit. Long term would be fine with me. Any ideas or locations to consider?
 

Most museums will not let you just "loan" an item to them because of insurance technicalities. You would have to "donate" the tractor to them, and once you do that, the tractor belongs to them, and you have relinquished all rights to ownership.
 
i think some museums do actualy have many exhibits on loan, i know one local truck museum has probably better than half of its stuff on loan, and it changes from time to time. i have also seen many times smaller artifacts that will be noted as being on loan by so and so at many different museums
 
Do you know of an H with a lower serial number that is complete? There might be one somewhere that the 2 cylinder club is not aware of. A couple of years ago mine was the lowest numbered one they knew of. #17 is or was at the John Deere Pavillion in Illinois??!! Heard rumors of #1 or 2 in a bushel basket but not sure. If anyone knows something please let me know. I sure would like to know. Nothing really special about mine---just the low serial number and it's history. I'm sure if this was in the hands of some well known collector it would be plastered all over the magazines and such??? Just my opinion which may or may not be worth a s--t. But like I said--I'm just alittle pee-on with a low numbered tractor that may or may not be worthy of being shown somewhere??? Thanks to all for all of your opinions and suggestions.
