Despite what the museum director says in the

providing images in accord with "open access" principles as they forbid

Well, arguably they are, barely. "Green open access" in scientific journals
includes NC licenses. It's far short of being proper "free content", as
you
note.
Indeed - Green OA is simply the right to make available for reading
(and usually in fairly constrained circumstances). Direct reuse
doesn't enter into it.
"Open access" is a very multifaceted term. :-)
