I don't have a problem with permanent art exhibitions being labelled as a type of museum. Indeed many museums concentrate on cultural artifacts. I'm thinking of one in Athens full of cultural artifacts from the height of the Athenian city state. We call it a museum, but it is an art gallery devoted to a particular time period, so the logic of the two terms overlaps considerably. an art gallery in English does not clearly distinguish between the shop where art is sold and the permanent exhibition. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
