Lithuanian Cultural and Historic Places from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports for Lithuania contain cultural and historic places tagged via `tourism`, `amenity`, `historic`, or `heritage` keys. The data includes museums, galleries, theatres, places of worship, monuments, and historic sites, compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Map cultural heritage sites for protection planning based on the `historic` and `heritage` tags.
• Analyze tourism infrastructure distribution based on `tourism` and `amenity` tags.
• Create cultural resource inventories for regional development based on the described place types.

Strengths

• Covers multiple cultural place types including museums, galleries, theatres, and monuments.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, and GEOJSON.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
