A 12-year-old walking with his class -and a drink - around an art museum in Taipei, Taiwan, got momentarily distracted and tripped.
He managed to avoid spilling his drink as he plunged across a step protecting a $1.5 million Paolo Porpora still life painting, but unfortunately put the back of his hand straight through the canvas in doing so.
The museum was understanding and said although the boy 'was nervous' they were not going to ask him to pay as they are insured.
Video of the acccident, with a chirpy music soundtrack added, at the link.
