Summary/Abstract: When I think about a museum, many different threads come to mind, including memories from both my childhood and adult life. In the past, school trips were often organized to museums, where for the first time for many it was an opportunity to encounter a large amount of art and works gathered in one place. Although as a child it is difficult to evaluate and develop deeper reflections on the work you are learning, contact with exhibits from an early age teaches you proper respect for learning about them, emphasizing how important they are for everyone. The topic of museums is also often reflected in film art, where these places often become targets for thieves who plan in a sophisticated way over a long period of time to obtain a given exhibit. Often silently, bypassing all security measures, so that the museum only learns about this fact when the morning shift comes to work, and the works are already far outside the museum, and this security issue is the subject of this work.
