museum piece
Curated historical artifact
A museum piece is an object worthy of display in a museum—something old, rare, or historically significant.
The term often carries ironic or dismissive connotations when applied to things still in use: That computer is a museum piece.
Calling a person a museum piece suggests they're outdated or out of touch.
