A parliamentary report warns that museums and galleries in the UK remain exposed to theft and cyber-attacks that could endanger cultural collections. The warning comes from the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee (PAC), which cites recent incidents affecting major institutions. These include the theft of thousands of artefacts from the British Museum and a major cyber-attack on the British Library. The committee says the incidents reveal recurring weaknesses across the sector. It also concludes that the government has not taken a sufficiently strategic, concrete approach to reducing the risk of similar failures in future. The report highlights concerns that institutions are not receiving adequate support and guidance to strengthen security practices, both for protecting physical assets and for preventing and responding to cyber threats. While specific actions proposed in the report are not detailed across the available summaries, the overall message is that vulnerabilities persist and that government efforts have not yet translated into effective, sector-wide risk reduction following previous security breaches.
