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/ 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. http://www.dia.org/art/search-collection.aspx http://www.dia.org/art/rights-and-reproductions.aspx 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.
