SpaceX launch and landing attempt scheduled for Sunday
In article ,

My guess is this recovered stage will eventually find its way back to
SpaceX headquarters in California. The first flown Dragon is hanging
there (and was visible in the live video stream of this last flight when
the cameras were on the crowd of SpaceX employees who were watching the
flight on screens at their HQ). These artifacts are surely quite
inspirational to SpaceX employees and represent their historic
achievements as a private company.
Or it could end up in the NASM.......
Possibly, but unlikely, IMHO. It's not government property, so it would
need to be donated to the museum. I don't see Musk doing that when it
can reside safely inside of their California office.
