About this data

This page tracks the systematic decay of museum exhibit URLs, revealing how quickly links rot into 404 errors. It measures the percentage of broken links, the median time since URLs were last updated, and the rate at which new 404s appear each week. The data is gathered from a global sample of museum websites, highlighting the scale of institutional link rot that often goes unnoticed.

Why this isn't published anywhere else

While there are general discussions on link rot (e.g., Pew Research) and museum exhibition tracking (e.g., LinkedIn post), no existing source specifically tracks the systematic decay of museum exhibit URLs into 404s globally as a dedicated dataset or dashboard.
