Posted by: admin , August 27, 2015

A 12-year-old accidentally tripped and punched a hole in an Italian painting worth $1.5 million while it was on exhibit in Taiwan.
The painting titled ‘Flowers’ was one of 55 pieces at the Faces of Leonardo exhibition in Taipei.
Video footage shows that the boy ‘braced’ as he tripped over a platform and fell onto the painting.
It’s reported the organisers won’t seek damages from the boy’s parents for the painting, which has now been restored.
The child is lucky – a Leonardo da Vinci self-portrait (worth $231m!) was also on display.
