<p>[QUOTE=&quot;reader, post: 2514638, member: 255&quot;]This is such a real issue. I don’t know the answer as IMO there’s a huge difference between vandalism and sheer stupidity. I’ve been a museum art docent in multiple institutions over the years and one of the biggest issues is that so many institutions do not have the budget to have enough security in the galleries and/or don’t want to “distract” from the public’s experience by roping off fragile works or using signage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sadly, damage like this happens all the time. I had a huge back and forth with a curator over requesting “Do Not Touch” signage in front of a glass piece that was constantly being touched leaving fingerprints which ruined the experience as it obviously told the viewer that there was glass in place rather than an “open” hole. </p><p><br /></p><p>Nothing was done as the curators felt that signage “broke the magic” so I guess better to screw up the piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
