Art treasures of very high value, which are also historically or scientifically significant, lurk in museums. At the same time, the artifacts should also be accessible to the public. However, making the objects accessible to a public always involves many risks.
Security concepts for museums must therefore often be individually tailored to the operation or outside opening hours. Visitors, buildings and employees are also dependent on security measures. According to the German Federal Association for Security Technology (Bundesverband Sicherheitstechnik e.V., BHE), a multi-level structure of security measures is expedient. In addition, care should be taken to review the protective measures at any time in the event of a change in the risk situation, for example in the case of new exhibits.
A new brochure, which can be requested free of charge from the BHE (info@bhe.de), shows which possibilities modern security technologies offer for the protection of cultural assets and how ways to tailor protection can be outlined.
