Multiple works in the Yale Center for British Art were discovered to be damaged after the center’s official re-opening day celebrations on March 29. According to two YCBA employees, who both requested anonymity, the staff discovered CCTV footage of a young child colliding with the work. In the video, a nearby parent witnesses the damage and flees the scene without notifying museum staff. “It just all fell apart into multiple pieces,” said the employee. According to another employee, the piece was balanced precariously atop a globe, and the most fragile parts, like a bird and cage, were located at the top and thus fell the farthest. https://lnkd.in/g_JAaPWw
