This grant program provides funding for security measures at Norwegian museums to protect natural, art, and cultural heritage. The program supports preventive measures that reduce or prevent damage caused by fire, theft, robbery, vandalism, armed conflict, and natural disasters such as storms, floods, and landslides. Museums can apply for funding covering up to 70 percent of the total cost of security measures, with the museum contributing the remaining 30 percent through own effort, equity, or other project funds. Eligible measures include risk analyses, security plans, value recovery plans, action cards, display cases with security glass, object alarms, glazing of artworks, and securing or moving cultural historical buildings or collections to prevent natural damage including climate-related risks. The program is managed by the Norwegian Arts Council (Kulturdirektoratet) and funded through gaming revenue allocated annually by royal decree.
