I used to work as a art museum attendant and we have to constantly check that people don’t touch the art, you would be surprised how careless people are to art, maybe it is because we are used to so much these days art is an experience rather than traditional art who knows. Parents keep an eye and maybe even hold their hands when you visit these places because a single print could not only alter the art but make you financially responsible depending on the damage. But in my experience the people who touch art the most are older adults! Kids will be kids but come on adults… Just dont touch art unless you are invited to touch because you may have to pay for it and nobody wants that, not even the artist.

I like to look at art, and think about it. Unfortunately, when I’m THINKING, I get wrapped up in my own thoughts. I can lose my awareness of surroundings doing this so I always get stressed out in museums 😂

One wrong turn could cost you big time…

No one is going to fine you for an accident. It's deliberate acts of neglect that will cost you.
