Exhibitions & Collections Teams
Better exhibits through better security.
The Challenges of Travelling Exhibitions and Loans
Exhibitions and Collections teams strive to attract top-tier exhibits, but these come with stringent loan agreements that often require increased security measures. This puts museums in a difficult position: how to bring in high-quality exhibits and boost patronage without overshooting their budgets.
The best exhibits often come with meticulous agreements requiring line-of-sight coverage, forcing museums to allocate more funds for security and straining already tight budgets. Balancing the desire to feature prestigious exhibits with the reality of financial constraints is a significant challenge for museum teams.
Fortunately, it’s a challenge others have overcome with Art Sentry.
