Last year we reported that the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore offers thousands of images from its collection on its website, free to download and use for educational purposes (under a Creative Commons license).

There may be some duplicates, but some advantages to Wikimedia are the thumbnail layout for each category, various download size choices, and posted image copyright status.
