Key:museum

This key is mentioned on the page for tourism=museum to be used for the kind of object or subject in exhibition. Note however that subject=* and rarely museum_type=* are also being used for this purpose, although the key museum_type=* is mostly used for the kind of operator (e.g. municipal, departmental, republican, private, ...).
