Here's an example torrent of metadata and images from the Rijksmuseum put together by an art history researcher: http://matthewlincoln.net/2015/10/19/the-rijksmuseum-as-bitt...

Excluding the images themselves from the dataset is one thing, but there's an open issue to include a link to the images: https://github.com/metmuseum/openaccess/issues/2
