A 5-year-old boy likely learned a lesson about keeping his hands to himself after accidentally breaking a museum’s 3,500-year-old jar. The incident happened over the weekend at Israel’s Hecht Museum, where the boy knocked the large jar – which dates back to the Bronze Age – onto the floor, breaking it into several pieces, says museum director Dr. Inbal Rivlin. The rare urn, made sometime between 1120 and 1500 BC, had been on display at the museum for 35 years. While a number of pottery items from that period have been found, the one on display at Hecht was particularly rare because it was one of a very few that was discovered in one piece, Rivlin says. What’s the most expensive thing you’ve broken?
