Could museums like the MET and National museums be interested in a project

More likely major auction houses like Christie's, Sotheby's, Czerny's, etc. but I wouldn't hold my breath since even for them ivory items form only a very tiny fraction of their business.

Probably more realistically, we will have to deal with the problem ourselves on a individual "when needed" basis.
