And publishers cannot afford to support images for books either. The Swede are developing a process for inexpensive publication photos. This might be helpful there, at least.
Interesting, what do you mean by this? Photography is still a labor- intensive process. The object needs to be taken out of and returned to storage, the lighting and exposure needs to be right, multiple shots for details, etc. Besides making the photo, museums sometimes charge for use in a publication.
Printing processes have already become cheaper and putting a photo on a website is even cheaper than that.
As mentioned before, many museums are understaffed so photography of the objects is not an easy task.
