Inherited Feather Pillows

I just inherited five nice feather pillows from my Grandmother's estate. They are nice and full, in clean ticking and obviously hardly used. BUT, they are quite musty smelling and have likely been stored since the 1950's or 60's based on the style of the ticking...

Any ideas on if they need professional cleaning given their age? Or is just a good airing out in the sunshine enough? Should I try a Febreeze or run them through the dryer with dryer sheets? Or what?

Any bits of advice welcome, I'd love to make them useable again - my whole family loves feather pillows.
