How do 800-year-old frescoes and timber buildings survive in a digital age? In this post, we explore the value of climate monitoring in historic churches. From the 'preservation paradox' to the requirements of the new Church Preservation Fund: See how discreet sensor technology makes the invisible indoor climate visible. Learn how data helps managers make informed choices about heating and maintenance, securing our irreplaceable cultural heritage for future generations.

Hvordan overlever 800 år gamle fresker og tømmerbygg i en digital tidsalder? I dette innlegget utforsker vi verdien av klimaovervåking i historiske kirker. Fra bevaringsparadokset til de tekniske kravene i det nye Kirkebevaringsfondet: Se hvordan diskret sensorteknologi gjør det usynlige inneklimaet synlig. Lær hvordan data hjelper forvaltere med å ta informerte valg om oppvarming og vedlikehold, slik at vår uerstattelige kulturarv sikres for fremtidige generasjoner.

The global conservation community convenes in Oslo this September for ICOM-CC 2026 — five days of research, dialogue and exchange around the theme "Cultural Connections in Conservation." Bev/Art is proud to serve as the exclusive environmental monitoring sponsor of the 21st triennial, supporting the professionals and institutions working to protect cultural heritage worldwide.

Looking toward 2026, don’t expect a single breakthrough for museums and heritage institutions. Instead, there will be a set of pressures that will shape how decisions get made and how people work in a world that feels a little less predictable each year.

When I look back on 2025, it isn’t a single milestone or achievement that stands out, but how Bev/Art paired our momentum with meaning.

Few museum displays express the balance between conservation and visitor experience as beautifully as the Ardabil Carpet at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Read more about the solution, elegant in its restraint.

The Swedish National Museum stands as one of Scandinavia’s most important institutions for art and design. The building itself – a 19th-century landmark – houses centuries of creative achievement, from delicate portrait miniatures to monumental oil paintings and intricate textiles. Behind the scenes, an equally careful process is underway: the ongoing work to protect these collections from the forces of time, light and climate.

At Bev/Art, protecting heritage means more than monitoring temperature and humidity. It also means protecting the data our clients and...

Today we announce the launch of a powerful new generative AI feature within its flagship software platform, Custodian. Seamlessly embedded into existing workflows, this enhancement enables automated report summaries and intelligently flags areas for improvement and potential risk, empowering institutions to act quickly and confidently on critical environmental data.

Bev/Art was founded with one purpose: To make the protection of art, heritage and archives accessible. 

Bev/Art has embarked on a research journey with the Norwegian Institute for Cultural Heritage Research (Norsk institutt for kulturminneforskning or NIKU). Our mission? To unravel the mysteries of two medieval churches, Kinn and Andebu, by investigating the impact of challenging indoor climates on their priceless cultural artifacts.

The collection managers see that there is a greater industry focus on proper climate logging now than before. With technology from BEV/ART, they can automatically log the indoor climate and receive notifications directly on their mobile phones. This has already saved them hours of work.

The Pro Sensor more than triples the range of Bev/Art’s industry-leading Nano Sensor and is about the size of a LEGO brick.

We're excited to announce a limited-time sensor buy-back program. This initiative allows institutions to trade in their outdated, bulky data loggers and receive a discount on Bev/Art’s state-of-the-art sensors.
