What If You Damaged Something in a Museum by Accident?

Have you ever visited a museum and noticed that there doesn't seem to be very much separating the public from the precious art or artifacts on display? Often, it's nothing more than a velvet rope, and sometimes even less. What would happen if you tripped and stumbled right into a shelf of priceless Etruscan urns? Well, they would obviously break, but what happens to you after picking the shards of three-thousand-year-old ceramic out of your hair? In 2010, a young woman was attending a class at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City when she tripped and accidentally punched a hole in a piece of priceless artwork. The painting in question was Picasso’s “The Actor,” and was valued at 130 million dollars right until the unnamed student opened a six-inch gash in the canvas...

After three months of restoration, it was as good as new. - The museum didn’t even charge her the cost of restoring the painting. - The absolute worst thing that happens is that the perpetrators find themselves banned from the museum, but even that’s extremely rare. - A few years before "The Actor" lost its boxing match with the young woman, a man in Cambridge tripped over his shoelaces and completely destroyed three irreplaceable 17th-century vases. - In 2016, an elderly couple severely damaged one of the exhibits at Pennsylvania’s National Watch and Clock Museum. - As with similar incidents in other museums, the couple was let go without so much as a stern talking to. - Pretty much anything you find in a museum will have an insurance policy covering it. - Even museum employees usually won't lose their jobs over an honest mistake. - A group of porters in England found this out when they threw away what they thought was an empty box. It was later revealed to contain a painting valued at over 120 thousand dollars. - In 2014, something similar happed in Italy when a janitor mistook some modern art for a pile of literal garbage. - What all those incidents had in common is that the damage was unintentional. - Securing every single exhibit is so expensive that many museums don’t feel like it’s worth the cost. - If you go to a museum, be careful. Great works of art can endure for centuries, and future generations will be grateful there aren't too many holes in our cultural heritage. - But hey, if you do, don't feel too bad. No one is perfect after all, and we've all had moments of clumsiness over the years.
