Certainly not much of Leon's original collection considering the IRS has pawned off a bunch of his best memorabilia over the years.   

Cool story though and Russell is arguably worthy of his own museum considering his contribution to music over the last 50+ years.

Or maybe GKFF will bail out the Jazz Hall of Fame and make it a "hall" within the new OK Pop Museum...
