Apparently, two children who were visiting the museum with their parents climbed over barriers and accidentally knocked into a glass case that held an exquisite glass model of a Disney castle, causing part of the model to fall and shatter.
According to The Paper, as translated by Vice, the glass castle is valued at 450,000 yuan ($64,000 USD), and took artists over 500 hours to create it. It also weighs 60 kilograms (about 132 pounds), has over 30,000 pieces, and is decorated in 24 karat gold, according to Vice.
It’s unclear as to whether the families of the children will be involved in the repairs, but some commenters on Weibo called for the parents to give money to the museum as compensation. Some also commented on the family’s parenting skills and criticized the children for not having “manners.”
