A museum should be having no problem providing us with material in
these two scenarios:
1. The image is PD
2. The image is subject to copyright and the museum owns all required
rights of usage/copyrights to release the image under a free license
If the image is subject to copyright and the museum is unable to
provide these rights of usage, it is not suitable for Wikimedia
Commons.
