Art galleries can host interesting news from time to time. Most of these reports are about the damage done to the exhibited works.

It was announced that the security guard who caused the damage in question could be given a penalty of 534 dollars and one year of work. It was stated that the fee of $ 3,360 determined for the restoration of the work will be paid by the company of the security guard.
