Public Art in Public Places produces one of the largest archives of official data on permanent public art.  It encompasses more than 250 cities and communities throughout Los Angeles, Southern California and Hawaii, and contains visual, descriptive, technical, and historic data on more than 3,000 public sculptures, murals, statues and station art, as well as public monuments, landmarks and memorials.   Online access to the archive is free and open to the public. 

Public Art in Public Places is a primary data contributor and verifier for Google Maps public art features as "cultural landmarks."  As a pioneering contributor since 2008, Public Art in Public Places established the first Google Maps public art feature protocols.   

Google Maps public art features allow for transit navigation as well as the posting of public comments, reviews, and images.
