Starship Museums: why?

I don't care, and I will repeat: dramas, sitcoms, and animated shows will have different levels of realism.

Hey, you’re talking to the multiverse guy, so you do you. But, I’m still struggling with the idea that a super futuristic society can’t move a large object.
 
Except it’s all still fake and subject to whoever is writing and producing it. There’s little realism behind any of it. If that were the case, we would never hear a single sound of ships going to warp, shooting photon torpedoes, explosions, etc. because sound doesn’t travel through a vacuum.
 
No one argued they can't. A starship is a "large object" and they move all the time.

Here we see the Cerritos and the Merced next to the massive Generation Ship they were tasked with carefully towing to a starbase.

And here we see the Cerritos on her own, towing a massive Orion Destroyer thar was without engine function.

No, neither were shown at warp, but we can assume, given what we know, that they used warp drive to arrive at their locations.

Two examples of 1 or 2 Starships towing something of significant size.
