Ok sorry, I could only read the text of the email, I can't open the images

Maybe I misunderstand what you wrote, but from
what I read they do not
claim copyright over the objects. They only tell you "do not take
pictures
of it". Even if an object is in the public
domain, the actual physical
object is still their property and they can do whatever they want with
it,
it does not have to be displayed and they
don't have to allow photographs
of it even if it is exposed. However, if such photographs str taken, they
cannot restrict their distribution. This is not a case of "copyfraud"
from
that point of view.
If you view the images to which Fae linked, the objects are clearly
labelled "protected by copyright". This has no basis in UK law.
