WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following the high-profile jewel theft at the Louvre Museum in Paris on October 19, Argus Cultural Property Consultants was featured by international media for expert analysis on museum security and the protection of cultural heritage.

The theft, which took place during museum open hours, renewed global concern about how even the most prestigious cultural institutions can be vulnerable to sophisticated criminal activity. Argus experts provided insight into investigative patterns, risk management, and prevention strategies for museums and private collections worldwide.

“Any time cultural property is stolen, the loss reaches far beyond financial value,” said Timothy Carpenter, Founder and Managing Director of Argus Cultural Property Consultants and former head of the FBI’s elite art crime team. “What disappears is part of our shared human story. Our work helps institutions protect that story through preparedness, training, and governance that safeguard collections for future generations.”

Argus Cultural Property Consultants is comprised of former FBI agents, federal prosecutors, and State Department cultural property liaisons with decades of real-world experience in art crime investigation, recovery, and cultural diplomacy.

In recent coverage, Argus experts discussed how organized networks target museum vulnerabilities and why proactive cultural property protection has become essential in today’s global environment.
