The new renaissance and baroque galleries at the Waiters Art Museum, Baltimore, include rooms that resemble those of a seventeenth-century Dutch nobleman. how do you propose we should deal with this? Use the same tag for both kinds of gallery? use it only for one type and use another tag for the other type (which?) > > Also the British English is contradicting the use in OSM and the > definition in the OSM wiki where museum is non-art only and Gallery is a > Museum for art. yes, while tags are not entirely the same thing as is natural language, they tend to be used in a way that is deducted from the meaning of the words. Trying to establish definitions that go against the actual meaning of the words will not work.
