In the future, the museum does not intend to eliminate the practice of making exhibits accessible and close them from visitors with partitions or rigid glass.
On a field trip to a museum in Israel, a four-year-old boy accidentally breaks a 3,500-year-old jug. The BBC reported it.
The Hecht Museum in Haifa says the ship was built in the Bronze Age between 2200 and 1500 BC – and is a rare artifact because it remained intact.
It was displayed at the entrance of the museum without glass because the museum believed there was a “special charm” in displaying archaeological finds “undisturbed.”
According to the boy’s father, Alex, the son slightly pulled the jug towards him because he wanted to see what was inside. In a moment he fell and broke. The man was shocked to see his son next to a pile of pieces, and at first he even thought that it was not his son who had done it. After calming the frightened son, he spoke to the guard.
The Hecht Museum, which collects archaeological and artistic objects, said the boy was invited to the exhibition with his family on an organized tour following the incident a few days ago.
“There are cases where exhibits are deliberately vandalized and such cases are dealt with very seriously, including the involvement of the police. However, in this case, the situation is different. The jug was accidentally vandalized by a small child who visited the museum, and the reaction would be appropriate,” said Museum employee Lihi Laszlo.
The establishment has found a specialist to restore the broken artifact.
Earlier it was reported that the oldest wax museum, the Panopticon in Hamburg, opened a new exhibition – a wax figure of the singer Taylor Swift.
