4-year-old boy accidentally breaks but later restores Bronze-Era jar at Hecht Museum, Israel.
A Bronze-Era jar at the Hecht Museum in Haifa, Israel, was accidentally broken by a 4-year-old boy but has since been restored and returned to display. Dating back to 2200-1500 B.C., the jar was on exhibit for 35 years and is one of the few complete containers of its size. Restoration experts used advanced technology to repair it. The museum invited the boy's family back for a special visit, now featuring a sign that reads "please don't touch."
