Stolen Ka Nefer Nefer mask in Saint Louis Art Museum (SLAM)

The Museum Security Network has been on-line since December 1996. It was founded by Ton Cremers, former head of security at Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum, recipient of the 2001 Robert B. Burke Award for excellence in cultural property protection at Smithsonian National Conference, and currently independent museum, library, and archive security consultant. Its original aim was to be a source of information for cultural property protection professionals. Gradually, the Museum Security Network mailing list has become the main channel for the distribution of news and information pertaining to cultural property protection, preservation, conservation, and security. On a daily basis, information is posted on www.museum-security.org as well as on the MSN Google Group.

Subscribers include museum professionals, law enforcement officers, lawyers, academics, insurance underwriters, journalists, auction houses, among many others.

The Museum Security Network on-line activities are a pro bono endeavor.
