At the beginning of information revolution, museums were understood to have high hopes for the revenue that digital image licensing (DIL) services might generate. Taking the National Palace Museum, Taiwan, as a case study, this paper applies cultural economics analysis to find out why DIL services in museums have not yet to report significant profits and why a growing number of art history museums have chosen to encourage free or CC-licensed distribution of their images. Our investigation identifies that DIL services in museums suffer from 'Baumol's Disease' and there may be a tradeoff between the monetary and education values of museums' digital images. The main contribution of this paper is to present art history museums with an optimal DIL management model.
