The IEEE person that I corresponded with was quite reasonable and she gave permission to use some photos without quibbling.
Perhaps if Steve asked permission for the museum to reproduce some of the content, they'd simply say OK.
As copyright owner, IEEE must have a general policy that forbids wholesale copying, otherwise they risk losing the copyright completely through abandonment. However, it's no skin off their backs to grant permission to copy a specific item. In fact, granting such permissions from time to time is evidence that the copyright owners are alive and well, and paying attention to their intellectual property rights.
