Tourists do silly things for a selfie. A tourist in Italy damaged a valuable painting. The man was in the famous Uffizi Gallery. This is full of priceless paintings. The man wanted a photo of himself in front of a 300-year-old portrait by an Italian painter. He lost his balance and fell backwards. He put his hand through the painting. Museum staff reported him to the police. Experts are now repairing the painting. They say it isn't badly damaged.
The tourist made people angry. The Uffizi Gallery told a newspaper that selfies are a headache. It said people taking selfies to put on social media "is now out of control". The museum has strict rules to stop behaviour that does not respect Italy's culture. The director of another Italian museum said a similar thing happened in her gallery. She said: "Sometimes we lose our minds to take a picture, and we don't think about [what can happen later]."
