Otherwise it's a solid idea. Just have to borrow some exhibits from the Drum.

Good point. Would definitely need a service road (though not one available to the public).
20 years I think is a pinch of an over-statement. The think has fires ever few years, and very shortly thereafter, things are looking great. You wouldn't make the entire park a construction zone anyway, just a path perhaps 20 feet wide to the site from the nearest side.
In the short term, there would be lots of nay sayers, but in the centuries long life of such institutions, it would be a small and completely temporary price to pay for a world-class tourist attraction.
