Hoi,
In the way you put it, there is no discussion possible. I do accept your position, I do not agree with it.
What you write is more an article of faith then an argument why this is what we do. Mathias, you can do better.
Thanks,

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.
