No, but there is a small cottage industry for re-purposing shipping container containers for homes and home additions. Google "shipping containers homes". I don't see why a container could not be re-purposed for a specific museum need. You would have to define the requirements and specifications for your Curation Facility so the fabricator can re-purpose the container.

Subject: Examples of a Curation Facility in a Shipping Container
Aloha,
I am a curator of a small archaeological curation facility at a military base on the Big Island of Hawaii. My curation facility is being moved to a conex (shipping container). It's to be provided to me climate controlled, and I'm looking for examples on how to best utilize the space. Does anyone know of any good examples of shipping containers converted to curation facilities or have any first hand experience with this? Thank you for your help!
Mahalo,
