Hoi,
The question is if they get it. As it is published for the first time they
could claim copyright.
Thanks,

That sets it out as a goal, not a demand.
But getting back to the case in question - we're talking about the
sort of museum that's actually a government sub-department. Thus,
public domain images that the taxpayer has *already paid for*. I see
nothing whatsoever unreasonable about the idea of asking-to-demanding
those. They're owned by the public, not by the museum bureaucrats.
In defense of museums, some of them do get it. The images of
golden artifacts from the Staffordshire Hoard were immediately
released under a CC license:
