Dear Christian, 10/23/2012
Try the American Philosophical Society, which
opened its own lovely museum -- about 6 years ago
-- in the space that Peale used (the
Independence Hall location). Sue-Ann Prince is
the museum director.

http://www.apsmuseum.org/contact-us/
It's likely, though, that they'd hand the
question over to the APS permissions dept
http://www.amphilsoc.org/library/research.
For the Linnaeus & America exhibition, we
reproduced the Titian Peale watercolor sketch of
Peale's Museum, now in the Detroit Institute of
Fine Arts.

As guest curator, I didn't have to deal with the
permission end, so I can't say anything about the
cost or copyright issues.
Good luck,
Karen
