Are these museum pieces? What can you tell me about the subjects of this picture?

No, unfortunately. I did take some photos of helmets in museums but they weren't as elaborate as this and as the photos were taken through glass, not as clear. I toured the ruins at Mycenae in the Peloponnese in Southern Greece and also Agamemnon's tomb and afterwards the tour was taken to a shop. This helmet is a replica probably probably from around 1600 BC to 1100 BC, during the Bronze Age. I believe the bronze plum on top of the helmet would have been made of horse hair not bronze when worn by a soldier and I thought that this helmet could have been a replica of one found with a statue but I could be wrong.

But you do>/I> know, that it is senseless to use authentic museum stuff?
´cos if "old" and "original", it´s forbidden to be used commercially.
A replica from the shop (and a nice one, like this here) - is worth much, much more..... !!
