Hi

I would revert the boundary to tourism=museum & tag the building as building=museum. I would transfer the data which represents the whole area to the boundary, such as address & contact details, similar to schools and hospitals. Wheelchair tags should be on individual entities as access can vary widely.

I suspect this is a case of tagging incorrectly for the renderer as tourism=museum on the standard map doesn't have a fill colour. This is an omission that those in charge of the carto design are reluctant to amend (see pubs, hotels etc) I maintain their "lack of distinguishable colours" argument is weak.

An aside point: I wouldn't connect boundaries to centrelines of roads. If you were to add a gate to represent an entrance to the museum, it would also be a barrier on the Preston Drove, which, obviously, it isn't. It can also make it difficult to select in some editors.

Hi all,

Could I have your opinions please.

Preston Park, Brighton has a small house and gardens in the corner, separate from the park. There is a walled garden, a lawn where they do outdoor cinema screenings, a house that is a museum.

In 2012 it was mapped as just the building as a museum, then soon after I added the whole containing area as a museum in a similar style to schools and hospitals.

All was fine until a Wheelmap user just turned the containing area into a car park (!). I went to revert it, but wasn't sure it was totally right in the first place.

So, question is: I don't see any OSM Wiki discussion of 'museum = both house and grounds' in a schools/hospitals fashion. How would you map it?

Regards,
