A 4-year-old destroyed an ancient jug at a museum in Israel. How on earth is the family going to pay for it? Thankfully, they won’t have to.

Toddlers are notoriously bulls in china shops. They have the ability to destroy homes in the blink of an eye. However, that’s not all they’re capable of destroying. This 4-year-old accidentally smashed a 3,500-year-old jar. While you’d think they’d be stuck up and super snobby about it, they’re actually being very cool about everything!

What Happened After A Toddler Destroyed An Ancient Jug At A Museum?

I’m sure this isn’t the first time a toddler accidentally caused some damage at the Hecht Museum in Israel. However, it’s noteworthy not only because the kid broke an ancient jug that’s around 3,500 years old–but for how the museum is handling the situation.

According to NBC News, the 3,500-year-old jar is from the Bronze Age and is dated from 2200 to 1500 B.C.E. and was designed to store and transport goods like olive oil and wine. By those numbers, it would mean it predated the Biblical kings Solomon and David! That’s incredibly old and has to be significantly valuable. NBC News points out that the rare find was large and in tact which is not common.

NBC News reports that the child’s father, Alex, says his son, “was curious about what was inside” and “pulled the jar slightly” and that’s when it tipped from its stand falling to the ground and shattering into pieces. While damaging art and sculptures at museums appears to be a popular thing recently–this was not like those stories. This was, indeed, an accident. The museum seems to understand that toddlers are prone to accident and they’re being good sports about it all. According to NBC News, Inbal Rivlin, the museum’s general director, publicly invited the child and his family to return to the museum to see the jar restored. The family has reportedly accepted the offer and will be returning this weekend. That’s great to hear because they could have banned the family or made them pay. Instead, doing something good like this might end up helping to bring more people into the museum!
