My sense is that a physical museum may be as aspirational goal, maybe one from when the group was started from a "Museum Fund" that was raised within the club. If that is still a main goal it does make sense to start planning that sort of stuff out.
In the meanwhile I has seen a lot of great work with people setting up displays and doing other educational outreach. A lot of good publicity for the club and MOGH.
The other great contribution I have seen is the digital collections and educational aspect. The crown jewel (of the entire hobby, in my opinion) is the Chip Guide. A free, open, crowd-sourced database of any type of collectible around. It's impossible to calculate how much that has helped the hobby.
Thanks to everyone who helped clarify the relationships and especially to everyone who has generously donated their time to the Club!
