What you're thinking of is the Computer History Museum,
http://www.computerhistory.org/
NASA Ames isn't putting it together. They've just made space availble
(which is darned nice of them). They also just bought a new building
at 1401 Shoreline Blvd. in Mountain View, which will be their main
headquarters and exhibit facility.

RK06 drives are rackmount drives that take cartridges. They're more
like the RL02 than a washing machine.

I doubt that they're going to want to pay to ship PDP-11s from Ottawa;
PDP-11s aren't at all rare and they already have quite a few. But it's
worth asking.
