Atlas Obscura has a really great dataset but their website sucks a lot... has anyone scraped it and converted it to Wikidata QIDs yet?

[eloy@hsnl.social]

@taavi I got this one but a modern remake with rainbow colored rings and Victoria Line text

@eloy In case you didn’t know - you can get a free reader card (even as non-brit) to access those rooms. Registration is at level -1 if I remember correctly, may be a bit of a wait but then you’re ok for years and have a cool card with your picture!

@jruys oh good to know, thanks!
