Well, I have made a great to-do with Beth looking at private collections to show to Ponder, so it's rather a large gap we'd have to jump.
Yes, it's fun how Pterry explains away his own temporal inconsistencies with that time-patching stuff, especially the very iffy timing of Brutha, whom he finally and firmly places 100 years in the past in ToT.
But unfortunately, the museum is not so much temporal as spatial. It is supposed to always have been there. Ponder will either have ignored it on purpose because he doesn't like it for some odd, Ponderish reason, or he's lied to Beth because he wanted to avoid looking at pictures.
