Just to confirm...
The museum(s) are aware that the permission for Wikimedia is not a
permission "for Wikimedia only" but for anyone, right? Releasing the images
under a free license for wikimedians is legally the same thing as putting a
free license on their website.

Hi Jason!
That´s right, the museums own the copyright of the images, so
shouldn´t be problem uploading the images, only with an OTRS
permission to make it clear in Commons.
Cheers

Hi Ruben (and Sara!)
Does the institution own the copyright? or are you seeking permission
from
3rd party copyright holders?
I am a Wikipedian in Residence at the National Library of Wales and
have
been uploading images on behalf of the Library. Most are out of
copyright
and are released on a public domain tag but if the works are in
copyright
and the Library owns the copyright we simply release them on a CC-0
license.
Just make it clear on Commons where the images
came from.
As i understand it, you would only need to use a OTRS permission if the
copyright for the images is owned by someone other than the
institutions
you
are working for.
I'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong. I hope that helps.
Cheers
Jason
