That’s easy. We’re supposed to ignore the visual discontinuity between DSC/SNW and TOS. Now we’re just doing the reverse. It’s not like Worf looks like a DSC Klingon either.
Or, you can just do what I do, and consider DSC/SNW a reboot.

Simple. It's not literal history.
It's meant to be seen as a visual treat - the easiest way to make sure the eye sees it is to make the most iconic version of it. It is in essence a plot beat/heartstring tug. Not rule of cool but....same emotional idea.
As fireproof78 said - It's not literal history.
Like Paul755 said - it bothers some, doesn't bother others.
This explanation is what I'm going with.
Indeed. But, for my money I'd rather be creative and find ways to have it all fit together, rather than just give up, curse the writers, and declare it a reboot. For me, it's way more fun to find a way to have it work together as a larger whole rather than be annoyed by their creative choices.
But, I trust that SNW will be boycotted now for it's discontinuity.
Presumably they aren't just random ships, but noteworthy ones. "Relic" means "revered" as well as "old".
Museums don't just have things that are obsolete. The National Rail Museum in York contains Class 43 HSTs that are still in service, but displayed in their original configuration.
Possibly these are famous ships from the Dominion War? I quite like that these aren't just ships that fans recognise, as otherwise it would be a very small world.
It’s also possible they were the class prototypes of the Nebula, Akira, and Saber.
Unreliable Narrators..
Well, cant just have ships that we've seen, its a big galaxy and other crews have been doing things as well, they might be ships that have distingushed themselves or, as with the connie, entire ship classes that have proved to merit preservation.
Or they have holes, and there just filling them.
Rather them fill them with like a Daedalus, Miranda, Ambassador, throw in some fan made designs from lost eras than stuff from recent past.

The best fan theory I've come across (which is used by TrekYards and Ex Astris Scientia) is to treat DISCOVERY/SNW as their own parallel universe a la the Abramsverse.
Except that contradicts Paramount's official stance, and evidence to the contrary in those shows. So no thank you.
Also Picard Season 1 used the DSC redesign.
Coming soon from Playmates--Spacedock Bubble Machine!
People are free to believe whatever they want, official stance notwithstanding. It’s a damn fictional tv show, for Christ’s sake.
Did anyone notice, they mentioned this was the OG Earth Spacedock as well. The one we saw in the Films also became a relic and was repurposed.
Jeeze, how did they move it. Piece by piece?
Why is this the best?
