What’s the worst nightmare that parents might have when taking their kids to a museum? Off the top of my head, it will be accidentally damaging a piece of priceless artwork or artifact 有歷史價值的手工藝品 and that’s exactly what happened to a family in Israel. Anna Geller and her husband took their three kids on a museum trip one day in early September. Their four-year-old son, Ariel, was looking at a 3500-year-old jar from the Bronze Age and when Anna looked away for a second, she immediately heard a loud boom sound. Then she saw Ariel standing next to a pile of broken jar pieces, looking absolutely fear-stricken 受挫的，因為恐懼而受挫 The jar was the one of the only containers of its size from that period that was discovered intact. It may date back to 2200 BC. Ariel’s dad said that Ariel was exceptionally curious and the moment he heard the crashing sound, he was praying really hard that it wasn’t Ariel. Unfortunately his prayer wasn’t answered. Upon discovering that their son had damaged the artifact, Anna and Alex first tried to calm Ariel down and then approached the security guard to own up to 面對their mistake. After checking the surveillance camera監視器and making sure it was not an act of vandalism, the museum decided to turn this disaster into a teachable moment and invite the family back again. This time, they joined an organized tour and learned about the restoration process behind the artifacts. The restoration 修復 expert behind putting the jar back said that artifacts should still remain accessible to the public even though accidents may happen. He said, “I like that people touch. Don’t break, but to touch things, it’s important.”
