A 3,500-year-old vase in the Hecht Museum in Haifa fell "victim" to the curiosity of a little boy during his visit with his father.

According to the BBC, the vase, which dates back to the Bronze Age between 2200 and 1500 BC, was shattered after the toddler accidentally broke it.

The vase, which was considered a rare exhibit due to its very good condition, was placed near the entrance of the museum, outside the glass case. According to the philosophy of the museum this can give visitors the opportunity to admire the exhibits where possible without "barriers".

The child's father stated that his son gently pulled the vase because he was curious to see what was inside, causing the antique to fall to the floor and break. He described to the BBC his shock when he saw the child next to the broken vase and explained that he immediately went to speak to the guard after calming the boy down.

Meanwhile, the Hecht Museum has clarified that the child was invited back to the exhibition with his family for a guided tour after the incident a few days ago.

Lihi Laszlo, the museum's content manager, explained their approach.

"There are cases when exhibition facilities are intentionally damaged and such cases are treated with great severity, including the involvement of the police. However, in this case, that was not the case. The barrel was accidentally damaged by a small child visiting the museum and the response will be accordingly," he said.

So, a special conservator has undertaken the restoration of the vase, which will soon return to its place.

The barrel was probably used to transport wine and olive oil.

It was found in Samaria, in western Israel.

The heavy barrel is as old as the time before King David and King Solomon.

Despite the incident, the museum said it is keen to maintain its unique tradition of exhibiting artefacts "without barriers or glass walls" in an effort to make history more tangible.
