For guidelines on copying a work in a museum, I'd recommend looking at the Cleveland Museum of Art's excellent online document:
http://www.clevelandart.org/museum/info/sketching.html
There's probably also something in the professional code of ethics for artists on the CAA website, but it seems to be down at the moment (www.collegeart.org).
