Despite what the museum director says in the press release, they are not providing images in accord with "open access" principles as they forbid reuse in commercial publications, like school textbooks.
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. :-)
