Auckland War Memorial Museum Reassess Security Measures
The successful Louvre jewel heist has prompted museum directors worldwide to reevaluate their security protocols.
Auckland War Memorial Museum, although not renowned for stunning jewelry, houses priceless artifacts requiring protection.
Running a museum full of valuable artefacts is largely about getting the balance right between security and accessibility.
Museums must balance security with visitor accessibility, as excessive protection can disconnect visitors from the exhibits.
- Install sufficient security to deter thieves
- Prevent opportunistic vandals and political protestors
Despite security measures, theft can still occur, as seen in the recent Louvre Museum heist, where robbers escaped with $178 million in crown jewels.
The Auckland War Memorial Museum has joined institutions worldwide in reassessing their security measures.
