Yep, this fact has also been known for quite some time.
But with the new Indy movie, it apparently needs confirmation.

It is fun to see how musea changed their attitude.
When the Da Vinci Code was released, musea did nothing special to accomodate a possible flow of tourists. (they didn't anticipate it)
Now, special exhibits regarding chrystal skulls have been scheduled.
Still the fact that the skulls are fake doesn't matter for the story of the movie: the other Indiana Jones movies used objects that aren't physical (the arch and the grail are still considered lost objects - by believers). I don't even think there was a real historical precedence leading up to The Temple Of Doom.
It just good old Hollywood fun.

Actually there's still considerable disagreement on the Crystal Skulls.
(Note: I'm arguing neither one way nor the other!)
The Museum spokespeople cannot or will not elaborate on the "facts" involved. This smacks of lack of evidence. They state that the skulls "almost certainly" originated in a town in Germany, but won't name the town - nor provide proof or even a reason for being "almost certain". Their entire argument, by the way, stems from this.
Additionally, radial tools WERE in use in pre-columbian societies - there are many examples of obsidian, jade, and crystal jewelry which were cut with circular tools, hundreds of years earlier than previously though. And their provenance is not in question.
Additionally, spectral imagery shows that at least one of the skulls was cut from the same crystal as was found in pre-columbian archaeological digs, and THAT crystal is agreed-upon as authentic...
In other words there are gaping holes in the "accepted scientific explanation". They would be well advised to bone up on their argumentation.The Internet - where men are men, women are men, and teenage girls are FBI agents!

on the other hand, the museum might be utterly correct, the skulls they have in their possession is fakes, they just have no ****ing clue when they was switched but they ain't going to loose face admitting it
They know the skulls originated in a town in Germany since it was there they ordered the replacements
If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

The type of chrystal of some skulls can be traced back to German chrystal... Perhaps the musea keep secret on the exact origin to lure more visitors?
But of course, it is not because a museum has a fake skull, that there are no real ones out there...
