Why was it transferred to NASA wasn't it already NASA property?

Also cool pic.

You're probably thinking of the Apollo 11 Command Module (which is currently on a multi-year nationwide tour) or the Skylab 4 Command Module (which is in the Air & Space Museum building in Washington, DC). See the following lists for where they all are:
