OpenStreetMap export of cultural and historic places in the Marshall Islands. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) provides this data, which includes museums, galleries, theatres, places of worship, monuments, and historic sites. The data was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Map cultural heritage sites for protection based on the `historic` and `heritage` tags.
• Analyze tourism infrastructure distribution based on the `tourism` and `amenity` tags.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.
• Includes multiple cultural place types tagged via specific OSM keys: `tourism`, `amenity`, `historic`, and `heritage`.

Limitations

• 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.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
