Museum security is no longer just about protecting collections. Today’s institutions face increasingly complex risks shaped by ethics, public access, climate emergencies, cyber threats, and institutional trust. In conversation with a leading cultural property and museum security expert and a representative from ArtSentry specializing in digital security, this program will explore common vulnerabilities museums overlook, real-world security failures, and the growing challenges institutions of all sizes face today. Presenters will discuss emerging threats, future trends, and practical strategies for strengthening preparedness without sacrificing openness or visitor experience. Participants will leave with actionable insights and a better understanding of how to avoid getting their stuff stolen.

This program is FREE for all to attend. However, registration is required.
