    FOI is for administrative documents to increase transparency in government. Detailed 3D scans a museum does for research or preservation isn't an administrative document.

    If you want a 3d scan of these statues, there's a lot of them around in scannable places like parks etc. If you just want to win, you're wasting everyone's time for no good reason.

      Have you ever read this? <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;eur-lex.europa.eu&#x2F;eli&#x2F;dir&#x2F;2019&#x2F;1024&#x2F;oj&#x2F;eng" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;eur-lex.europa.eu&#x2F;eli&#x2F;dir&#x2F;2019&#x2F;1024&#x2F;oj&#x2F;eng

      I hope La Quadrature and company appeal this refusal to the EU.

      Also even without the context above, a museum preventing people from experiencing and studying items from its collection (since the point clouds were apparently ruled such) is enough of a grounds for activist action against them.
