Funny, Denver recently created a whole museum for the Clyfford Still collection. The work was given to any city who would put up the funds for the museum itself. This seems like a better deal (I'm not a fan of Clyfford Still, so I'm less than enthusiastic over the museum) You could start it off as a touring exhibit, like they're doing for the Star Wars costumes (currently at the Denver Art Museum). This also worked for the controversial Bible Museum, which is is now (privately) in D.C. One of the problems of this idea may be, what do you do about new exhibits? Maybe all those comic books are just... junk and don't need a permanent place to be displayed in an expensive city. Maybe things like the Rockwell paintings can go to the Rockwell Museum that already exists. Or at least the majority of the collection can be easily digitized, and available to all via The Internet Archive. How about $1.5 billion to TIA, as well as all these "artifacts" How about, sell off all the originals, and give the money to charity.
