Why not the Museum of London which already has Olympic material from
1908 and 1948?

Or the International Wrestling Institute and Museum!

Or, Fulham Palace Museum, where there is an exhibition about the 1908
Olympics which took place in White City, Hammersmith. They may want to
keep a permanent display or increase their collection? There have been
lots of schools projects in Hammersmith exploring 1908.
Or, if he was from Newtongrange, did he have any connection with
mining? The Scottish Mining Museum is there.

Sorry not really educational!
I have a lady who has her fathers Olympic Bronze Medal for Wrestling
from the London 1908 Olympics.
She would like to donate it to a museum (with his other bits and
pieces).
If you know of a suitable/related museum please do let me know (I'm
stuck for ideas)!
