You are making an argument that there is what to be gained from such a museum.
You mention an anecdote regarding Satmar and an elmentry scholl reader. Of course there is somethign to be gained from such a reader, namely practice reading English. no one community might feel that thsi beenfit is outweighed by the harmful exposures of ” brother and his sister and their pet dog playing ball together in the park on Sunday morning ” and instead prefer not to be proficent in English (or to use another method). but this doesnt mean that there is no benefit to said reader.
Without question a museum that places Events from Tanach in context has the potential to be beneficial. Ive been to the Living Torah museum and definitely found it interesting and worthwhile. now obviously that doesnt make thsi museum ok. Im not familiar with it Obviously there isnt much to gain from a museum that is “reinforcing the linkages between modern Christian belief and its roots in what they call the Old Testament.” and if there is a gain it is likely yotze secharo behefsaido.
But to just write it off because of Satmer’s approach with a Reader isnt logical
