On the subject of retaining copyrights to a photo that is donated to a
museum...I believe  that that would depend strongly on the agreement made
between you and the museum.  So museums "Deed of gifts" are only Transfers
of title for the print itself.  Others that I know of specifically state
that the donor is relinquishing all title, cpoyright and trademarks.  I am
not a lawyer and resonably new to the museum profession, but that is my
understanding from my experience.
