I see "NPG, reloaded" coming our way...

Note that Commons already has plenty of images from at least some of
these museums, e.g.:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Van_Gogh_Museum

For the rest, we could just ask them "now that Google has put images
online, can we too?", then go and take our own pictures.

Too radical? ;-)

You can make your own pictures if you have
a 7 Gigapixel camera ;-)
In this video they show how google works:

Also if highres-cameras from gigapan.org are cheap available you need
time and the right light in the museum.

We still have some technics on commons to get high resolution images
from websites:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Zoomable_images
This seems the right place for documentation.

But I'm not sure perhaps better to ask friendly or to wait until more
images from museums are online. Not sure if the museums are happy if we
take the pictures and present it in a format that you can easily print
out....
