The biggest problem with your suggestion is that one needs to be careful to keep the plane of the camera exactly parallel to that of the photo being recorded. Otherwise you end up with a spatially distorted image. Most people don't have the requisite equipment to make this easy (your museum probably does). It is quite difficult if you are just shooting from a tripod.
