Closed shows keep their pages: an exhibition history is provenance evidence, and this archive cites it.
What is on, by country
What we will not list
A show without both dates, a venue we cannot resolve, or prose lifted from a museum's own page. Every listing says where the dates came from and the day we last confirmed them.
Why a closed show keeps its page
An exhibition history is provenance evidence: where a work was shown, and when, is part of its record, and this archive cites it. A closed show stops being advertised and stays citable.
