About this data

This page monitors the decay of museum exhibit URLs, tracking how often they return a 404 error and how long they survive before disappearing. The data comes from regular scans of exhibit pages across global museums, checking for live links versus broken ones. It reveals patterns in funding cuts, digital neglect, and the fragility of online cultural archives—something rarely measured systematically.

Sources

Every figure on this page was read from these pages.

Why this isn't published anywhere else

While link rot and web decay are studied broadly, no live dashboard or recurring dataset specifically tracks museum exhibit URL decay rates. Existing sources are general or academic, not niche-specific trackers.

Uniqueness score 0.90 — assessed against live web search results when this subject was created.
