Is there a comprehensive list of all such large collections that have been made available. I recall the Metropolitan Museum of Art released hundreds of thousands of images a while back.

But the ETH in Zurich makes a library of 100'000s of pictures, graphics, historical artifacts, architecture and photography publicly available. All[1] of it in hi-res as TIFS: https://www.e-pics.ethz.ch/en/home_en/ https://www.e-pics.ethz.ch/en/home_en/ [1] Disclaimer: I didn't check them all, for the ones I one was involved with, the archive of historical buildings in Zurich that's definitely the case.
