Hi Hannah, Your moth is most likely in the family Noctuidae, so not a problematic species for a museum. If its hindwings are yellowish, it could be a large yellow underwing.

He/she is about an inch long. Should we be concerned about this fellow, considering that the gallery also includes a (prop) bedspread and curtains? Thanks for any insights you can provide!
