Hi,
I've just checked on the handouts from David Pinniger's IPM training
and it looks like a plaster beetle. They are harmless, but generally
associated with damp areas, such as condensation or new plaster (hence
their name), so it might be worth checking for damp patches if your
getting high numbers in specific rooms.
Hope this helps.

Dear all,
I was hoping that someone on the list may be able to help us with a
pest
identification. During our insect monitoring checks we keep getting
these small bronze coloured beetles, they are generally small (about
2mm
length) and do not appear to be causing any damage. It is a mystery
as
they are in a number of our stores in different areas of the Museum
site
and appear on a regular basis.
Any help would be greatly appreciated to solve this beastly mystery!
Thanks
Becky
