Some of us are already doing that, see Commons:WikiProject_Museums. We
have a meta-template, {{Meta information museum}}, which mentions the
artist, the accession number, a credit line, dimensions, references in
academic publications and so on. It was designed after the MET's note to
the reader, explaining "how to read a caption":
http://www.metmuseum.org/Works_of_Art/noteToReader.asp
See for instance this picture of an Ancient Greek vase:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Discobolus_red_figure_Louvre_G292_full.jpg
All pictures are not so comprehensively described, but more than 3,000
pictures use {{Information Louvre}}, for instance.
