If these free art films are not already a part of either permanent
collection or for the purpose of an exhibition for any museum
constructing and managing their own website, why would a museum require
these free art films as part of the content of that website when as
museums we already have plenty of resources to draw from in-house that
is relevant to our respective missions?

By simply placing these images onto our websites with no relevance to
what the museum is about or within the criteria of a described program
seems to smack of pure commodification and not address, hence not
fulfill, the educational tenet of our purpose and mission as educational
institutions.
