They have to stop blaming the child. I was at the muses d or say w hub

He kept pointing to stuff like the birth of versus Ritchie there. As if since it’s not encased for idiots why not ruin ebverything and touch it

I said you know your CO back in deutchland would be super pissed if you ended up on the front page of le monde for screwing up a Botticelli

That was the ticket. Now I go with my sisters or alone.

"The jar is dated to the Middle Bronze Age, between 2200-1500 BCE BC."

“” Hecht Museum will continue this tradition “”


It seems that the museum’s staff is a bunch of 4-yo kids.

I’d honestly be fine with looking at perfect replicas, so it’s not a big loss when accidents happen.

At the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, where I work as a volunteer docent, we have Nixon's parents' copy of The White House Cook Book (1887), However, we have on display another copy that the Nixons didn't own and keep the original locked away so as to protect it from light damage and other hazards. The original is brought out only on special occasions.

Because despite its age, it isn’t particularly unusual otherwise. It makes me cringe a bit for anything that old, but there are other jars like it, and it probably was reconstructed already.

If the museum is set up like a petting zoo, what else would they expect to happen.
