At present, the simplest advice for museums, etc. is not to use the Wikipedia globe or the stylised wordmark or even the stylised W icon without prior permission from WMF.
Thank you. That's disappointing. I made my views clear to the WMF legal team, in a 90+ plus phone conversation, that there needs to be a freely-usable, easliy-recognsable logo for such cases.
There is no problem with using the word "Wikipedia" in plain text, so captions such as "Scan this QRcode to read the corresponding Wikipedia article" would be perfectly acceptable as I understand it.
Indeed; though so much English text is inadvisable where multi-lingual audiences are expected. Just "Wikipedia:" may suffice.
