Diambil dari rekaman keamanan museum, video menunjukkan seorang pria dan wanita mendekati wooden clock di salah satu pameran museum. Setelah mengambil foto, pria itu mendekati jam, pertama menarik-narik satu bagian, kemudian menghentak lain, dan pada akhirnya berakibat jam klasik tersebut jatuh, mencoba untuk memperbaiki, namun pada akhirnya ditinggalkan saja.
berikut komentar dari Minneapolis Star Tribune :
According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the museum isn’t pressing charges and didn’t try to identify the man or the woman. While comments were disabled on the original Youtube posting from the museum, discussions on Reddit and comments on Youtube repostings included a variety of racist comments aimed toward the couple.
“Posting the video is not an effort on our part to shame anyone,” museum director Noel Poirier told the Star Tribune. “We did not want them to feel bad or persecuted as a result. We want to use [the video] to educate. When you come to a museum, play by the rules.”
Poirier wouldn’t reveal how much the clock is worth, and said that thought it was damaged in the fall, it was “not beyond repair.” Artist James Borden has reportedly agreed to fix the clock for the museum.
“Folks that work in museums typically tell you that it’s the adults you have to worry about more than the kids,” Poirier told PennLive. “It seems that the adults feel a little more entitlement to touch things.”
