A family trip to a museum turned into every parent's nightmare when their son accidentally broke an ancient artifact.
A family trip to a museum turned into every parent's nightmare when their 4-year-old son accidentally broke a 3,500-year-old artifact.According to The Guardian, Alex, identified by only his first name, said his son wanted to see inside an ancient jar that was not encased and “pulled the jar slightly … that’s how the jar tipped over and fell.”
“In the first second that it happened, my reaction was instinctive: it wasn’t my child who did it. A second later, I see my child next to the jar, and I’m in shock. The security guard is in shock, everyone is in shock, and the friends who were with us are also in shock. Afterward, we were a bit angry, then my wife pulled herself together, took the child aside to calm him down, and talked to him. After speaking with the child, I approached the security guard to figure out how to proceed.
This is what the ancient container on display at the Hecht Museum in Israel looked like before it was accidentally broken by a 4-year-old boy. “A few years ago, an Anthropoid ceramic coffin , placed on a sand platform at the museum, was damaged,” said Rivlin. “The damaged part was quickly recovered and restored.”“There are instances where display items are intentionally damaged, and such cases are treated with great severity, including involving the police,” she says.
