Ever have a cringe-worthy incident in a museum?

A grown woman lost her balance and fell onto Picasso's "The Actor" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art last week. Have you ever endured a similarly embarrassing moment, either as a clumsy adult yourself or as a parent touring a museum with small, antsy children?

my wife let our then 3 year old daughter loose (accidently) in a Chuck Close exhibition at the MOMA in NY. She ran up to one of his large paintings and slammed both of her hands onto it...the sound was extremely loud.

The guard came up to my wife and told her in no uncertain terms that she had to keep ahold of her daughter or else...my wife complained to me how rude he was (she's not an art person) and I told her that the guard should have thrown her out! I would have lol.
