Cultural

Many museums, theaters and opera houses as well as large libraries have considerable assets to protect and because they are open to the public, they have very substantial security needs.

The Art of Security in Belgium

On 2nd June in 2009 the brand-new Musée Magritte Museum opened in the heart of Brussels, in Belgium. With space of more than 2,500 m², in just two months the museum saw more than 100,000 visitors. Each visitor encounters security officers from Securitas who view their task at the museum as a point of honour, both figuratively and literally practising the art of security.

Flexibility key to Art Institute’s changing security needs

The Art Institute of Chicago is one of the world’s premiere fine arts facilities. Particularly renowned for its collection of French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painting, the museum is encyclopedic in scope, housing 5,000 years of creative expression. A major destination for tourists and locals alike, the museum recently featured an exhibition of American painters Winslow Homer and Edward Hopper and hosts 1.4 million visitors a year.

A Safe Night at the Opera in Lyon

Securitas has been responsible for fire safety and public protection at the Lyons Opera House since 1999. The service it provides in this role is tailor-made for the requirements of the site, focusing on the competence and autonomy of the security guards.
