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? ;-)

Hello everybody! I've been working on a bash script to rip the high quality images from the Google Art Project. From what I understand, all depictions of the original works go under PD-Art, even though Google claims otherwise in their FAQ. What I'm wondering is whether anyone is interested in helping me rip all these images. There are a lot of images to rip, and each rip takes at least an hour. All you need is a GNU/Linux OS and some basic knowledge on using the terminal.
