museum pieces
Curated historical objects
Museum pieces are objects old or rare enough to belong in a museum.
The term usually appears dismissively, suggesting something outdated and no longer useful: These computers are museum pieces—we need new equipment.
Applied to people, it implies they're out of touch with modern times.
