it was valid, but they're not really map-worthy. if we go down that
route, where do we stop? every painting?

for example, we would not map the crown jewels, but would map the
tower of london (i think...), which contains them. ditto the Mona Lisa
and the Louvre, and others. map the building/location it's in, not the
contents
