I give us 100, tops.

Well, humans may stick around in ancestor simulations and museums.

...but it is hard to imagine them persisting elsewhere for much longer.

The persistence plans I have seen: cyborgs, uploads, machines of loving
grace, etc all look pretty ridiculous.

And who will be building the museums when all that's left are
extremophile bacteria?

Semi-intelligent extemophile bacteria. Evolved from creationist that
didn't believe in global warming.
Unfortunately, the museum will mispresent history and claim that the
almighty bacterial god created them in its own image. Their
irreducible complex flagella can't be evolved from that long-legged
fossil apes, after all.
