I also agree with this

I wouldn't map what they "hold" (is this including the archive, right?)
Typically most of the collections of museums is in the archive, only a tiny
fraction is on display in the exhibitions. But I wouldn't mind if people
want to map particular pieces of individual artwort (which is on
"permanent" display). In an exhibition there is space between the works, so
I don't share the fear of having too much information on too few space,
even if they are on 2-3 levels rather than one. But I'm for a different
key, something "specialist" (i.e. not a key of those of the current
mapfeatures), and in particular not "tourism=artwork" which should remain
reserved for public art.

Cheers,
Martin
