Tourists do silly things for selfies. A tourist in Italy damaged a priceless painting in a famous museum. The man wanted a photo of himself in front of a 300-year-old painting. He nearly fell over. He put his hand through the painting. Museum staff reported him to the police. Experts say the artwork isn't badly damaged.
The tourist made people angry. The museum said selfies are a headache and are "now out of control". The museum has strict rules to stop bad behaviour. It wants people to respect Italy's culture. The director of another Italian museum said: "Sometimes we lose our minds to take a picture, and we don't think."
Back to the selfies lesson.
