A tag for public pieces of art; typically being staged in the physical public domain, usually outside and accessible to all.

How to map

Depending upon the size of the installation, add tourism=artwork to a node, a way or an area.

Useful combination

• name=* – recommended if you know the name of the artwork
• artwork_type=* – to define more precisely the type of artwork; e.g.
  • artwork_type=sculpture
  • artwork_type=statue
  • artwork_type=mural
  • see more on artwork_type=*
• artist_name=* – to specify the name of the artist
  • artist:wikidata=*
• start_date=* – the date when the artwork was completed (this is not the date when the artwork was installed at this place)
• image=* – image link
• material=* – what the artwork is made from; e.g. marble, glass, steel
• height=*
• wikipedia=* – the wikipedia page (if any) about the artwork
• wikidata=* – the wikidata ID representing this artwork
• inscription=*
• inscription:url=*
• heritage=* – for heritage protected artwork
• description=*
• website=*
• artwork_subject=*
  • subject:wikidata=* is the wikidata-id of the entity that is depicted by the artwork. A typical example is a bust, where a certain person is represented. The wikidata-id of the person can be entered here.

Differentiation

We need to distinguish between public art and exhibits to the public. Public art means artwork (be it murals, statues or whatever) for example in the street, park, shopping centre or foyer of an open building. It would need to be publicly accessible, without payment of an entry fee.

Objects exhibited within a museum or gallery, accessible to the public only under conditions such as opening hours or paying a fee, are tagged exhibit=artwork.

Possible Tagging Mistakes
