ART THEFT PROTECTION FOR MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES

It only takes a shocking 58 seconds to steal a painting.

Museum security is a creative art form in and of itself. Security, safety and accessibility are all taken into account when protecting irreplaceable works of art. When multi-million dollar works of art are on display, executives and board of directors encourage as many people as possible to enjoy the art while ensuring it is protected.

Not only are museums concerned with the public they are also concerned with employees, contractors and even terrorists, these days. According to FBI statistics, between 70 and 80 percent of all solved theft cases involve insider participation of some kind. When creating a security plan it is important not to overlook employee or contractor involvement.

Art crime is very rarely carried out by opportunistic thieves. Instead, it’s done by highly organised crime gangs that operate trans-nationally, conducting research, surveillance or even placing insiders in target locations.

The common overall strategy is to create a balance in the individualized security plan. The plan should include security staff, access policies, and the use of electronic security systems and video surveillance.

We provide innovative and unique solutions to secure both hanging and seated pieces from the largest of paintings and sculpture to the very smallest of objects in any facility.

When we are called in to help with security, we consider site lines, display methods and the value of the art. We create a system with alarms, cameras, card readers and a full security management system. We can help with the challenge of keeping artwork safe yet allowing visitors to come within an arm’s length.
