The people charged with taking care of the UK’s most precious works of art at top museums have an interesting track record. This includes 18 incidents relating to V&A exhibits, Anish Kapoor’s work Ishi’s Light (pictured above) at the Tate Modern, pieces by Andy Warhol and Tracey Emin, baroque sculptures,  dinosaur bones and more… all damaged.
