By this concept, exhibitions in a museum / gallery won't be public art, so
shouldn't be tagged as such.

I would also think that they shouldn't be tagged in OSM at all. If you do,
& the museum holds 1000 pieces, then you will have 1000 tags, rendered
icons & names inside the confines of the building, which will be totally
unworkable! Yes, tag the building as the Louvre, show it's entrances &
where the toilets & cafe are located, but leave the location of individual
artworks to the museum's own map.
