Since the COVID-19 outbreak hit, many museums and cultural institutions around the world have needed to temporarily close their doors. While this obviously affects the financial well-being of each of these individual institutions, the broad cultural benefits of museums in our country, our greater economy, and the emotional well-being of our society have been sorely missed.

Few things are more important to a museum than the security of its collection. Our cultural institutions are packed with irreplaceable items, and these pieces often have significant financial and cultural value. It’s vital for any museum to be able to keep its exhibits safe and secure in a cost-effective manner, which is exactly why Art Sentry art protection system exists for museums.

Are you facing cost reductions which negatively impact your ability to protect your collection?  Many museums are deploying Art Sentry technology as a force multiplier to fill this security gap.

Art Sentry seeks to be a comprehensive solution to protect and preserve your valuable collection pieces. For this reason, we offer temperature and humidity sensors which can be integrated into the Art Sentry system.

The latest version of the Art Sentry museum art protection system contains a patent-pending multi-zone capability. This allows for the systems to protect and track up to ten individual collection pieces from a single camera.  Each protected collection piece can now be named (i.e. Mona Lisa) and alarmed separately.  

Art security in museums can do much more than protect your collection and provide a better experience for your visitors. These systems can also help to mitigate bad visitor behavior within museums and galleries.

Cost-effective museum protection is one of the top concerns for the operations staff. That includes guarding against theft and damage by ensuring an effective security plan is in place to protect the collection. Without an effective plan, you could be jeopardizing the artwork and historical pieces in your gallery or museum.
