I agree in part, but this isnt just any news story or photo. Surely the fact that this piece is publicly displayed by the countries national gallery, gives it some deservedness to be in OSM. That doesnt detract from the original question, of what to map a site of historic significance. Im sure the location of the great train robbery or an the location of the site of an air disaster would be of interest to some people, especially those tourists travelling in the area. To me, OSM isnt just about street maps, its about finding out-of-the-way places and finding (or following others) ways to get there.
