Very nice, thanks for sharing!I've always felt you should do high-res pictures of some of that stuff and sell the pictures. You're already established as the owner of these things, so it's not like someone will be able to fake ownership of a replica made from the photos.It's the same thing the larger museums do over there, to provide people with a method of looking at the items without even entering Germany, let alone risking damage to the actual items. Normally, they do it with slides, but most of those seem to have been digitized for storage and ease of dessemination. It also proved to be useful in reclaiming pieces missing from WW2, and remaking destroyed pieces.I wouldn't offer your pics for free, but perhaps use them as a method of making money on the exhibit. I also wouldn't offer them in digital format, but as 8 x10 glossies with your watermarks and stuff all over them. Orderable through a store on your website, and possibly numbered to help with tracking, and/or to increase their value.I don't know.. just a thought. Have you considered that as an option? I emailled you through your site about doing that about 6 months ago and hadn't heard anything back.
