I work pretty near the local science museum here in Rochester, New York.
I could talk to them about putting MindForth on display, but being a
science museum, I'm pretty sure they are looking to host /science/
exhibits. They don't typically reserve space for tired memes used to
try to bootstrap others into doing actual AI.
Still, I think it would be cool. I can imagine the children visiting
for school field trips, walking up to a terminal and typing random input
and watching the equally random output from MindForth. I'm sure they'll
be impressed.
Which brings up another idea. Maybe science museums aren't the best
place for a display of MindForth. Maybe you should focus instead on
local poetry slams at the trendier coffee shops. MindForth fits in well
with a kind of beat-era aesthetic-- kind of like an electronic version
of William S. Burroughs's cut-up techniques. Have a screen with
MindForth's randomness being displayed while a sax player and a guy on
bongos explore jazz textures.
Personally, I think you should just drop the science museum idea and go
directly to the 50-foot statue of yourself as the father of AI. I
imagine the top part would look like this:

The bottom part might be a base with the immortal words:
