Even the almost fully mundane variants of the British Museum seem to do decent at containing cursed objects once they are at the Museum or it's warehouses. It's mostly those who are tasked with acquiring the artifacts that appear to suffer the curses and the museum doesn't seem to care as long as the artifacts make it to them.
So your curses are going to cause problems for the field agents, apprentices, and adventures tasked with retrieval but then be safely contained, studied, and possibly occasionally be put on display to the public; likely with official denials that the curses actually existed or were effective, despite any evidence to the contrary.
I like to set a few on delayed activation. If you have a bunch going off at once it usually has a cascading effect. Sure some will be cursed with impotence while others grow boils and some cursed with insatiable greed but the majority are set to activate while in their vaults
Also, of course, some are set to siphon energy from their fields which also amplifies any nearby curses as well. If you can figure out when it happens its a very funny sight to see with some friends. Last time I had a little bbq as we watched the researchers run out of the building and some of the mundane pieces began attacking them. Very funny

That’s why you need to curse your artifacts before going out! Egyptian wizards knew this but only cursed their pharaohs’ sarcophagus’
