What If You Damaged Something in a Museum by Accident?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2019
- 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...

SUMMARY:
- The tear may have been big, but was near the edge and far from the focus of the painting. 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.

Do you want to break the arts and the manager ist gonna be happy😠😡
You can't replace something from the museum with an original one because it has different historical value and substance. Maybe a replica will do.
I did not go to an normal museum before the only museum I went to is the children museum
Do u think so?
Balle Rina But that will become history in the future!
almost everything is either a replica or restored as close to "as new" quality as possible with as close to authentic materials as possible
almost nothing you see in a museum is as it was found

When I was younger I went to the natural history museum in london and there was a kid there (I was talking to him and my mum was talking to his mum) and he started climbing over a statue so my mum said “I don’t think you’re ment to touch that” hes mum said “oh they won’t care” then both of them left shortly after and a woman (who works for the museum) came down the stairs and had a go at me for climbing on the statue and my mum explained that it wasn’t me and she said “well I saw it on the CCTV and he’s the only kid in here” then she kicked us out of the room but we ended up just leaving the museum because all the workers were keeping a close eye on us after that. Still makes me kinda angry 😡

The first time I took my Daughter to a museum she was about 6. I was showing her how the beautiful monet was painted using dots. She reached up and touched it. I think I nearly passed out. We just turned and walked out as fast as we could. I didnt take her back to a museum for many years after that!
for the monet painting, i actually went to this museum that was a mansion in the 1800's (Its called the biltmore estate) and he made paintings to decorate the house, when you go to the house, you get to see the original paintings and its an amazing museum, sorry for the big ad, and all but if your in north carolina, close to asheville and are looking for a museum, the biltmore is definetly a 4.5/5
I loved the watch and clock museum, it was so cool, but some people messed around too much
The BEST story of damaged art and consequences is as follows, but you gotta look up the actual video for full effect: it features a mother at Shanghai Museum of Glass who let her children literally tear apart a glass sculpture WHILE SHE TOOK PICTURES, security video of which went viral in 2016. It’s unbelievable. The artist, Shelly Xue, was amazingly cool about it. It had taken 27 months to make the pair of angel wings, named “Angel is Waiting”, and she’d dedicated it to her newborn daughter. It had been on display for two years before the incident. After the considerable damage, Xue simply renamed it “Broken”, and it still hangs. Best of all, the museum has installed a video screen running a loop of the destruction, right next to the piece. It’s brilliant!
