So that the public at large gets a chance to see them. If they were all in private collections, only the owners and their friends would be able to see them. Plus most museums have excellent preservationists that are able to look after the artifacts, and preserve them for the generations to come.
Strictly speaking, no. "Aborigines" refers to the noun, the actual people, and should always be capitalised; "aboriginal" is an adjective, I.e. referring to "aboriginal people".
You don't.Aboriginal is an adjective, and it should be written as just aboriginal when describing a culture, e.g. aboriginal tools, aboriginal housing.The word Aborigine is a proper noun because it refers to a race of people.The terms aboriginal and Aborigine are often mixed up.

Archaeologists as individuals should not own the artifacts they find. The aim of archaeology is to learn from and preserve the artifacts which they recover for everyone. Objects in publicly owned museums do not belong to the archaeologists, but the public. Specific laws governing who owns recovered antiquities vary from place to place, but archaeology as a discipline is not about ownership of artifacts.
If it is that nice, the museum might buy it from you. If not you can simply donate it.
Although Troy Westwood is not originally aboriginal, he was adopted by a Dakota family in Sioux Valley as one of their own. To me, that's good enough. He follows the beliefs and ways of life better than most aboriginals. In my books, he is aboriginal.
No, "museum" should not be capitalized unless it is part of the name of a specific museum:He asked me whether I would rather go to a play or to a museum.The Seattle Asian Art Museum is in Volunteer Park.
I personally believe it should as it is art, it all depends on someone's opinion and who owns the art museum.
