Man Breaks Rules, Knocks Clock in Museum to the Ground

One man visiting the National Watch and Clock Museum in Columbia, Pennsylvania, just couldn’t resist touching a sculpted, wooden clock hanging on a wall. After he touches it repeatedly, it crashes to the ground, breaking into several pieces. The man and a woman accompanying him are seen trying to fix the shattered clock, before they walk away when they can’t piece it back together. The museum isn’t pressing charges against the pair, but instead wants to educate visitors on why it’s important to follow the rules. The museum director also says there are more problems with adults than children with touching objects. The clock sculpture has hung in the museum for more than 20 years and won a national award in 1994. Artist James Borden has agreed to repair the piece.
