Those leather artworks... are you allowed to touch that?
Golden rule of any exhibition is Never Touch Anything! Imagine what those artworks would look like after everyone would put their dirty hands on them.

Ah, goes to show of how I've never been to one... But yeah, a speck of dirt mean A LOT to artworks costing millions. Can't afford my HIVE to pay that! 😭
The thing with leather is that it's very sensitive. Our skin is oily, even if it's not something you see, but it leaves a mark on leather. Imagine thousands of people touching that leather. Not to mention there are animals that call themselves human, breaking centuries old sculptures, just for fun. This is why every exhibition has cameras and tight security. Some things you break, can't be replaced anymore, or repaired.
Now that makes sense. And therefore I learn something new about artworks: even when something you can (normally) touch, must NEVER touch.
Nonetheless, this really is a good post overall. Thanks for teaching me something!
