Big value from museums is curation. You can get context (for example, pieces done by the same person just before or after), explanations (I recommend audio tours! There's loads of info there), and even just having the experience of seeing the actual material and texture in a way that's hard to understand. You can also get exposed to related art and see things in a different light (though honestly this is dependent on the museum. Some curation is inspiring, other curation feels constrained by a lack of imagination or access to the right kind of pieces) I don't think for a woodprint you'll get this, but for a lot of paintings the scale itself can be impressive. There are multi-meter high paintings out there that can be very mesmerizing. But it's also just kinda neat!
