Okay, one of my villains wants to steal something from,a museum (I know, cliche) my only problem is, I don't know the best time to steal something. The peice has just been moved to this museum and it will be unveiled in a day. Should the villian steal it before, during or after the unveiling? Thanks.

It depends on the museum, the item being stolen, and the security that is being employed. Before an unveiling, last minute preparations are being put into place and this can cause holes in security. During the unveiling, the museum is chaotic and the guards are enduring everything is going smoothly and are thus distracted. After the unveiling, the human guards are tired from the unveiling and are more relax since nothing went wrong. As you can see, each time-period has a hole that can be exploited but it depends on what is being stolen and the nonhuman security that is being used. But if I had to choose, I would pick after the unveiling when the museum’s guard is down from the successful event.

Here is a website that details some common security that museums use:
