There *are* photo request places on en-Wikipedia, last
time I looked.
Let me look again...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_pictures
That is a mixed system of topic pages of requests, and categories of
articles where photos have been requested.
Yeah, that'd be the place to start some "by location" or "by
institution" missing photo lists.
(Project: go through the whole V&A catalogue, see what items' articles
don't have a photo, make list with location in museum.)
(In the case that brought this up, there are euphonicons in several
museums - apparently they were really pretty darn mediocre pianos, and
there's good reason they're all but forgotten - but the V&A sprang to
mind as one that we know is Wikipedia-friendly. All the more reason
for museums to work with us for the publicity ;-) )
