If you're not careful,
you can wreak havoc on art.
Somethings are broken on purpose
like this sand sculpture that appears to be vandalized
by a teen in Hawaii and other works of art
are damaged by accident.
Here's a look at some masterpieces that haven't
been treated so nicely.

That sand sculpture in Hawaii, it was on display
at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki.
Sand may not be the most permanent medium
but this teen didn't help.
In surveillance video she can be seen
pulling a head off the sculpture.
She pulls off the nose of another head,
then she throws a pillow at it.
Honolulu police reportedly arrested her
and the artist who created the sculpture
flew to Hawaii to help repair it.

Sometimes the damage is accidental.
This 12 year old boy caught his fall by accidentally
punching a hole into an oil painting
at an exhibition in Taiwan.
The 17th century Baroque artwork
was reportedly valued at $1.5 million.
Fortunately for the boy and his family,
insurance covered the restoration costs.

and look at this, a little boy reaches out
to touch a statue when it falls over.
It happened at a community center in Kansas.
Fortunately the child wasn't hurt.
The statue, however, wasn't so lucky.
It was valued at over $100,000.
Insurance paid for that one too.

This piece of art was shredded in front of everyone.
$74,860,000.

As soon as the gavel went down to mark the sale
of Banksy's Girl With Baloon for $1.4 million,
the painting seem to fall from his frame and into pieces.
It was all on purpose, since a shredder
was built into the painting.
Some guess this might actually increase it's value.
The painting has since become known as Love is in the Bin.
It's another piece of subversive art
from the elusive, mysterious, Banksy.

A woman was trying to snap a picture
of priceless works by Goya and Dali
when a wall falls over almost on top of her.
It happened at a museum in Russia.
Another woman can be seen in the corner in shock
over what just happened.
(dramatic music)
If you wanna take a selfie in front of something famous,
here's a museum solely dedicated to that in Los Angeles.
This is super interactive, you can play everywhere,
it's like a playground for adults.
Here you can have all the fun you want
without worrying about ruining the artwork
for anybody else.
It's an exception to the cardinal rule
of museum going, look but don't touch.
