Anyone in the world with an internet connection can view, interact with, and download the British Museum’s 3D scan of the Rosetta Stone, for example. The public can freely access hundreds of scans of classical sculpture from the National Gallery of Denmark, and visitors to the Smithsonian’s website can view, navigate, and freely download thousands of high-quality scans of artifacts ranging from dinosaur fossils to the Apollo 11 space capsule.

Has anyone used these in games? They would be great easter eggs and they have artistry and design that is far beyond almost anything DIY.

The British museums license at least is creative commons non-commercial which would likely prevent them being used as something insignificant like easter egg as a license would need to be acquired.
