I know of a couple of Swedish museums/institutions which do it. Either
manually or bed on which pages/images contains links pointing back to
specific items in their collections. Essentially they use it as a "you
might also be interested in" suggestion.

Also know that a few of their authority files includes wikipedia links as
"same_as" properties.

It seems like some GLAM institutions are starting to use URLs to
Wikipedia articles as common identifiers for classes of items in
collections. I guess this will change over time to be  URLs to
Wikidata instead. This is pretty much as expected, but it is although
a bit strange that they are using Wikipedia and that no-one seems to
have noticed this from our side.

Is there anyone that know how common this is? Så far I have only heard
about a few of them, and I'm not even sure they have any clear
understanding why they do it..
