Accidents will happen – but few are as costly as the one that occurred in the Victoria & Albert (V&A) Museum recently.
The museum has been exhibiting the works of the world's premier glass artist Dale Chihuly, which sell at up to £2m apiece.
But just a few weeks into the show's four-month run, an electrician accidentally knocked into a plinth and sent one of the precious works crashing to the ground.
Luckily, Chihuly seems to have taken the breakage well.
His spokesman said: “The sculptures are glass and glass breaks.
“That's why we carry insurance.”

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
