Security Solutions for Art Galleries and Dealers

Museum-grade protection for continuously changing works

Art galleries have different security needs from museums or other facilities that display art. Shows change frequently so flexibility and ease of use in a security apparatus is critical. Entrances are open for free movement and often poorly supervised. Works for special or group shows increasingly require special security demands by the lender.

The Reality of Gallery Theft

Whether "grab and run" or more surreptitious thefts, galleries suffer from particular vulnerability. Very few have guards or cameras. Works hanging near the entrance are often an invitation to theft, especially when gallery personnel are engaged with a client or on the phone at some distance from the front door.

Art Guard offers flexible solutions designed specifically for these challenges.

Art Guard Solutions for Galleries

Flexible Protection

MAP sensors can be moved to other works or changed completely for other shows. Systems can be moved in their entirety to another facility for traveling shows without re-enrolling sensors or losing settings.

Ready Out of the Box

MAP sensors are pre-enrolled and ready to apply right out of the box. Whether standalone MAP Systems or integration with existing security platforms.

Demonstrate Security Standards

Show artists, lenders, and insurers that your gallery employs the latest technology for protection of any works—hanging or seated—entrusted to your care.
