OpenLevelUp/Use cases/Museums

OpenLevelUp can render museums buildings. These places can contain several buildings, with many floors and rooms. For a general overview of how to tag inside buildings, see OpenLevelUp/Recommended tagging.

How to map

Here is a list of interesting objects to map in museums.

Examples of museums features
Image	Name	Tags	Comments
	Gallery	`indoor=room` `level=*` `room=gallery`
	Glass cabinet	`indoor=glass_cabinet` `level=*`
	Objects in a recess	Various tags for given object `support=recess`
	Showcase	`amenity=showcase` `level=*`

	Section marker	`highway=milestone` `support=` `name=` `level=*`	`highway=milestone` has been used in Brittany Museum in Rennes (France) but seems too linked with highways. A milestone is a marker to show a distance from and to geographical points. The given information (mileage) is a distance. Something like this should be better : `tourism=information` `information=section_marker` `name=*`
	Interactive terminal	`tourism=information` `information=terminal` `level=*`
	Informative board	`tourism=information` `information=board` `board_type=` `level=`
	Museum map or descriptive map	`tourism=information` `information=map` `map_type=` `level=`
ARK Identifier	Various tags `ref:ark=/organization/object`	Example: URL looks like http://www.collections.musee-bretagne.fr/ark:/83011/FLMjo133451 so tag will be `ref:ark=/83011/FLMjo133451`

	Artifact	`historic=artifact` `artifact=` `level=`	Miscellaneous non-artistic objects in museums
	Tombstone	`historic=tombstone` (See the proposal) `level=*`	Tombstones can be exposed in museums or other historic places. Please do not confuse with an `historic=tomb` wich is a burial site mainly located in a `landuse=cemetery` or a `amenity=grave_yard`.
	Mural	`tourism=artwork` `artwork_type=mural` `level=*`	Murals such as frescoes may have been detached from their original supports and may be found in museums.
	Mosaic	`tourism=artwork` `artwork_type=mosaic` `level=*`	Mosaics may have been detached from their original supports and may be found in museums.
	Painting	`tourism=artwork` `artwork_type=painting` `level=*`
	Statue	`tourism=artwork` `artwork_type=statue` `level=*`
	Bust	`tourism=artwork` `artwork_type=bust` `level=*`
	Sculpture	`tourism=artwork` `artwork_type=sculpture` `level=*`
	Installation art	`tourism=artwork` `artwork_type=installation` `level=*`	Installation art is an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that often are site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space. Generally, the term is applied to interior spaces, whereas exterior interventions are often called public art, land art or intervention art; however, the boundaries between these terms overlap.
