Smashing Vases at FitzWilliam Museum, Cambridge

Poor chap tripped over his shoe laces, fell down stairs and destroyed 2 300 year old vases in the process!

Shows how careful we Curator's need to be - however, expert conservators will have them back together without the public noticing! Remember the Portland vase in the BM - still one of the most visited treasures despite being smashed to smithereens.
