Kenjiro Okazaki, Aimlessly navigating the canals, he would sometimes leap onto small islands overgrown with reeds, cheering up lonely bulls with his whistles. He'd pick berries from thorny bushes, poke at rabbit burrows to startle the young ones, and giggle at coots dozing on the water's surface. His feet were always muddy and cheerfully wet. 2024 © Kenjiro Okazaki, Courtesy Pace Gallery.

Ariel Geller's family was invited for a guided tour of Haifa's Hecht Museum in Israel, a few days after the four-year-old smashed a rare, 3,500-year-old jar in the museum. The museum told the BBC the crockery dated back to the Bronze Age between 2200 and 1500BC - and was a rare artefact because it was so intact.

A 4-year-old boy visiting a museum in Israel accidentally smashed a 3,500-year-old jar. The boy’s father, Alex, told the BBC his son “pulled the jar slightly” because he was “curious about what was inside,” causing it to topple and break. The Bronze Age crockery—which was dated to between 2200 and 1500 B.C.—was notable because of its excellent condition, with similar artifacts typically found broken or incomplete, the Hecht Museum in Haifa told the British broadcaster. It also defended its decision to display the jar close to the museum’s entrance without precautions that might have prevented the accident because “whenever possible, items are displayed without barriers or glass walls.” An official with the museum said a conservation specialist has been given the task of restoring the item, which will be returned to display “in a short time.” Alex said he was “relieved” it will be restored but was nevertheless “sorry” that “it will no longer be the same item.”Read it at BBCRead more at The Daily Beast.

In a significant moment for the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu, a crate escorted by the FBI from New York was opened this week at the national museum, revealing a long-lost cultural treasure. Kaitip Kami, a curator at the Vanuatu Cultural Centre, immediately recognized the artefact inside—a statue incorporating the skull of a male ancestor from the hill tribes of Malakula, Kami’s island home. “By looking at it, I knew straight away,” Kami stated, reflecting on the powerful connection to his heritage. “I recognize it, where it belongs, up in the bush.”
