actually you can do the same thing with photometrics software... there a guy doing it the last few years for all the world’s museums creating 3D models for 3D printers

Just license out 100% accurate scans of the darn thing already!

We have dozens of copies of Rodin’s “The Thinker”, and it hasn’t hurt people seeing the original at all. Most people are never going to get to Berlin, let alone this museum, so make some cash off of this in any way you can.

Experts have compared their digital scan to the scan that was done by the museum. Both of them look immensely similar

Shouldn't two copies of the same object be substantially similar?

For years, mapmakers have introduced small, but identifiable flaws on their product to detect copyright violations. The museum should have inserted a digital flaw so they wouldn't have to guess.
