If there is £4.4m funding available then just buy the ground and build the museum. That way it safeguards the club and provides the facility but as you say a white elephant.
Alternatively build it into a project to take WAFC forward and interact it with match day and possibly part time opening and at least provide the museum and a better future for the club.
OH selfish me for these thoughts but £4.4m well spent in the North.

As Standman has said- schools, colleges, visiting supporters etc.
Twickenham charge £12.50 entrance per adult and £7.50 for children to their rugby museum; they also have school trips.
Twickenham Tour and Harlequins Hero Rugby Package
While The Racecourse might not be as glamorous as Twickenham (yet) it has more relevant history than any other stadium that I can think of. It just needs a bit of joined up thinking, rather than a token gesture to keep those up North quiet
