The Ark of the Covenant which includes the original tablets of the Ten Commandments has been lost since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. No museum contains the original Ten Commandments that Moses received at Mount Sinai, but many copies of the Ten Commandments exist.

No, the location of the actual two Stone Tablets of the Ten Commandments is not now known. Museums, if at all, possess only replicas, which any sculptor could fashion. See also:

If the tablets referred to in the Book of Exodus ever really existed, they have not been seen in historical times. Since Exodus was really only written during the middle of the first millennium BCE, the author was relying on legend alone.

What was the mountain where the ten commandments were given?

The Hebrew name of that mountain, recorded in the Torah, is "SEE - nye". The word came into English translations of the Bible as "Sinai". The entire inverted-triangular peninsula between Egypt and Israel is known as the "Sinai" peninsula, and there is a tourist-frequented monastery in the mid-south of the peninsula on a mountain identified by some as the mountain associated with the ten commandments. But the fact is that the mountain has not been identified with any certainty.
