Data is from OpenStreetMap overpass turbo which is a very handy tool to interogate Open Street Map information. I used this query that was built from the handy wizard
// fetch area “Sydney” to search in
{{geocodeArea:Sydney}}->.searchArea;
// gather results
(
// query part for: “tourism=museum”
node["tourism"="museum"](area.searchArea);
);
// print results
out body;
>;
out skel qt;
to find museums listed in OSM. I omitted all queries other than nodes, and extracted a json file to use to create the points. Aplogies for the collusion!
OpenStreetMap is an incredible resource, and all the information you see there is created by their community. It's one of those amazing places like Wikipedia that is a treasure trove of well...treasure. As someone who loves to tinker with data I sometimes can't quite beleive that all this amazing stuff is here to use - with proper attribution of course. So hats off to the OpenStreetMap community 🤠
