#Museum404 – The 404 error page, an opportunity for museums?

 

You’re browsing peacefully, from page to page, on a museum website… When all of a sudden a 404 error appears on the screen, indicating that the page cannot be found. Is this malfunction a disaster?

Over the years, the 404 error has become an integral part of the cultural codes born out of the Internet. And yet, very few museum websites currently have a custom 404 error page.

With his unique approach to things digital, for over a year, Omer Pesquer has explored and published the 404 error pages of museum websites around the world. He has returned from this voyage of discovery with good news and he will explain why the 404 error page can be an opportunity for museums.
