Many times it is because the insurance companies make it so you cannot open them to the public. We had a really awesome warbird museum in MN at the local airport with many well known planes in it. The suddenly closed down and it was due to the insurance company pricing his liability through the roof. Now the insurance company has NO income from him and he moved the museum to California. I have heard this from a number of private museum owners. What a waste.
