Boy trips in museum and punches a hole in $1.5m painting.

Can someone correct my title. Classic dyslexic mistake that one mixing two letters around, doh!
 
this will be why insurance was invented

The organisers will not ask the boy’s family to pay for the restoration costs, according to Focus Taiwan news. It said the exhibition organiser, Sun Chi-hsuan, said the boy was very nervous but not to be blamed and the painting, part of a private collection, was insured.

btw this isnt about public liability insurance - that is for instances where the public are injured or caused loss through negligence, this is straight forward insurance of a valuable object against loss or damage

Oops hope he has got a decent public liability insurance.
 
On a side note, if there are notices forbidding food and drink in exhibit rooms (like, for instance, the natural history museum), then the parents might consider themselves rather lucky that the museum aren't a bit more peed off.
But yes...oops!
 
An accident, in that it wasn't deliberate and there was no intent, but accidents and negligence aren't mutually exclusive. Many 'accidents' involve some degree of negligence and aren't entirely fortuitous, in the original sense of the word.
 
Nothing to worry about. There will be another "work of art" somewhere that is a canvas with a punch hole in the middle that is worth $3million.
 
Ooooooo....I bet he did look a bit sheepish afterwards. That dreadful moment when you realise the horror of what you've just done!
 
Could have been worse, might have spilt his Coke over it and completely stripped the paint off! :D
