I imagine if you made enough passes at the target with a low-resolution scanner, you could build up a hi-res image. Computers are good at that sort of thing now.

I think that question is going about it backwards. I would ask rather, why does the museum have a moral right to restrict access to our shared cultural heritage? Restricting access to physical artifacts is often necessary because they are singular, delicate, and tempting to thieves; but data has no such limitations.
It should be the museumâs job to justify restrictions, not a criticâs job to justify liberties.

True, but with a reference point as wobbly as a walking human, itâs going to be very difficult to get each successive scan to line up perfectly with the others.

Difficult, but not impossible. Some solid work has been done in stabilizing video and overlaying multiple images to produce better ones. I think a couple of smart kids with kinects could do it in a very short time.
Edit: This is why Mythbusters shouldnât have ended.
