tourism=museum / tourism=attraction is definitely taggable
name=* is definitely taggable
historic=building is definitely fitting for historic buildings, though not always will be fitting (sometimes building is ruined, someone it is memorial with recent buildings)
disused:amenity=prison / abandoned:amenity=prison / historic=prison seems fitting if there are some remains

Though I also found abandoned:amenity=prison_camp, see
