Our flight arrives at 8:00AM and we can't access our AirBnB until 3:00. The drawback to an AirBnB, no hotel desk to store our bags. Any ideas? Do the museums have lockers? We arrive on a Sunday, so could go to a museum.

Earlier this year we had a similar arrival. Beforehand I contacted our Airbnb host and asked if we could leave our luggage before check in, and she agreed. Problem solved.

Museum storage is generally for day bags, small backpacks. They may take luggage but I think I would use the train storage area. What is the closest train station to your B&B. And to be careful in Paris. There has been a huge crackdown on illegal B&Bs. I think you BnB needs a registration number -- ask for it.

In addition to the main train stations, there are a number of consignment services in Paris:

I've heard of Holibag being good. I wouldn't leave it at one of their non-hotel locations, though, since they're not as used to it and might not have a dedicated luggage storage area.

Yes we used Citylocker for the exact scenario (arrive 8a, check in at 3p). We were staying near St Germain so left our bags at the Citylocker near Notre Dame. There were 5 of us with 5 Osprey Porter 46's. I think 2 lockers would have been sufficient but we got more than that (bc ordered them online prior and didnt grasp how large they would be). Very easy to use. It felt very safe.
