Denmark Cultural Places from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide cultural and historic places across Denmark. The data includes museums, galleries, theatres, places of worship, monuments, and historic sites tagged by volunteers. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being more well-mapped than remote locations.

Use Cases

• Map cultural tourism assets based on OSM tourism tags.
• Analyze the distribution of historic sites for heritage protection planning.
• Identify locations of amenities like theatres and galleries for cultural mapping projects.

Strengths

• Covers multiple cultural place types: museums, galleries, theatres, places of worship, monuments, and historic sites.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats: GEOPACKAGE, KML, HTML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON.
• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, remote areas may be incomplete.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
