Look, Don't Touch!

 Please don't touch the artwork!

Now and then, we are reminded as to why these signs are still needed in galleries around the world. 

Art lovers in Miami, USA, looked on in horror when a collector accidentally knocked a $42,000 ( 39,445 euros) sculpture by US pop artist Jeff Koons to the ground. 

According to the first reports, she had tapped it with her finger, witnesses at the even said. Later reports said she kicked the podium where it was placed. Hmmm.... either way, the best rule is to stay CLEAR of anything of great value or breakable, don't you think?
