The child and his family were visiting the museum at the University of Haifa earlier this month when the boy “pulled the jar slightly” out of curiosity, causing the 3,500-year-old jar to fall and shatter. The artefact had been displayed near the entrance without a protective barrier.
The museum, instead of taking action against Ariel Geller, said it was inviting the boy and his family for a guided tour to “sweeten” their previously bitter experience. During their visit last Friday, the boy gifted the museum a clay vase of his own and was met with forgiving staff and curators.
“It was just a distraction of a second,” Anna Geller, a mother of three from the northern Israeli town of Nahariya, told the Associated Press. “And the next thing I know, it’s a very big boom boom behind me.”
