It’s pretty much the best option. The ill-gotten gains of kings often includes piles of trinkets and art that’s not really valuable to the rest of us sold off or melted down. There’s valuable history and artistic merit on display. Turn it into a museum. Charge a little to keep the place nice so the next generations can remember.
Ohhh nooo not the precious jewelry! But but but the monarchy used to own those!!!
I’m gonna back the French on this one since they did the right thing with the monarchy and made their possessions generate income for the people.

Plus, dead monarchs make me happy ☺️
I mean yeah, but jewels are basically the least culturally valuable art in the Louvre so I’m not too broken up about this.
Any artifact is culturally relevant. Jewelry isn’t the exception
