"It was the wisest expenditure in my three decades here at the Butler."

"We’re able to maintain the delicate balance between protecting our collection and giving visitors an engaging experience with our art."
Eric DrewryDirector, Protection and Group Services, Detroit Institute of Arts

"At the Toledo Museum of Art, part of our vision statement is that we strive to create a 'culture of belonging.' To me that means, when people visit our museum, they feel free to enjoy their time without the perception of being followed by security. With Art Sentry's object protection system monitoring our collection, I can rest assured that the art is safe and our security team gets to focus more on providing a positive experience for our visitors."
Risa SmithDirector of Protective Services, The Toledo Museum of Art

“For the first time, we had zero complaints of guests feeling uncomfortable due to security officers watching or hovering near them. I cannot remember having a major exhibit without almost immediate complaints of security officers targeting specific individuals or groups. It is a major benefit of the system, and our visitor experience scores are much improved as a result."

“Art Sentry has added several dimensions as to how we approach protection services…it’s changed the way we deploy our resources and the tactics we use."

"Recently, we had a Van Gogh painting on loan to us with a very stringent officer line of sight requirement. We explained to the lender that the Art Sentry object protection system would be deployed on the piece, and it would immediately alarm if approached. This impressed the lender, causing them to waive the line of sight requirement immediately. Art Sentry provides a tremendous financial and personnel advantage for our operation."

“The System is like having multiple guards in the gallery at once.”

"We didn’t have to tear up floors and walls or put in eyesore pipes in the corners to hide cabling."

"The system works great. It does exactly what we were told it would do when we bought it -- you don’t get to say that very often."

Bob Boetticher
“The Art Sentry system has reduced serious-damage incidents by 60% and it’s trending even lower. As each serious-damage incident costs tens of thousands of dollars to repair, the system has saved us not only money, but it allows us to keep our collection pieces in the gallery for visitors to enjoy.”

Art Sentry didn’t originally set out to be a leader in museum security systems. In fact, we can trace our roots to an engineering firm that was started in 1991, which became Acuity-vct in 2002.
