I recenttly added a museum to OpenStreetMap but I can’t see it when I am not legged in. I would want to add a museum to OSM database so programmers could use that information for mapping but it is not easy. Could someone help me?
Thank you

Hi, I looked and you do have the one ‘changeset’ (editing session) where you added this one node - node/3145554676 - it looks like you added the museum. Although the changes are immediate (or near) to the database, it takes a little while for the map to be rendered with the new data. Feel free to reach out to me and take a look at http://LearnOSM.org for more instruction.
Happy Mapping, =Russ

If you’re still not seeing the changes, this is probably related to your browser cache.
Normally, browsers keep the map images for some days, so that browsing goes faster. But when an image is updated on the server, it may be possible you still see the old image on your computer.
Try clearing your browser cache to see the latest renderings.
But indeed, you added the museum correctly (though I’d suggest to move the website to a “website” tag instead of “source”).

it is shown on zoom levels 17 to 19 for me.

You can try pressing CTRL-SHIFT-R to clear your browser cache and reload the map. I think it’s more likely that the map server is just taking it’s time to regenerate the tiles.

… or Ctrl+F5 - depends on your browser and its settings.
