Maybe wikipedia should have a "request a photo/picture" page, 
where people can put requests for photos to accompany articles. 
Especially when dealing with monuments/buildings/objects in 
museum. 

Considering that Wikipedians are fairly widely spread around the 
world, it should be fairly easy to get photographs from a wide range 
of places. 

With historical artifacts often the only photographs that are 
publically available are copyright to the museums (for instance I 
was trying to find a photo of the ancient board game "Royal Game 
of Ur" to use in an article, but the only ones I could trace were all 
copyright to the British Museum who own several of the few boards 
to have survived).
