Spanish glassblower Miguel Arribas spent around 500 hours making the world’s largest glass-blown sculpture, a whimsical castle fashioned after Cinderella’s castle, but it took a couple of children just a fraction of a second to ruin it.
Presented as a gift to the museum in 2016 to mark its fifth anniversary, Miguel Arribas’ record-setting masterpiece was created using around 500,000 glass loops, weighed 60 kilograms and featured spires made with 24-karat gold. It was made up of approximately 30,000 individual parts and weighed over 60 kilograms.

According to sources from the museum, the unfortunate accident occurred on May 30th, when two children visiting the facility with their family crossed the belt barrier while playing and toppled the sculpture. The fall caused the main spire to shatter and caused different degrees of damage to other sections.

Of course liberals rarely accept responsibility for any damage they cause.
When my son was very little, we were visiting Chicago, and he tried to climb into the train layout at the Museum of Science and Industry.

So then what happened?
They really didnt g.a.s. about the display.

Spoiled parents make for spoiled kids. It’s actually normal behavior among Democrats. No respect for anything or anyone other than their own junk and their own selves. It’s on display everywhere in the public domain.
I stopped him, of course, but I totally understand why he was motivated to climb into the train layout. It was way cool!
