Tourist destroys 18th century statue by taking a SELFIE in a museum

A PRICELESS 300-year-old statue was destroyed by a tourist taking a selfie with it.

The statue of Saint Michael, which dates back to the early 1700s, is broken beyond repair.

Museum officials at Lisbon’s National Museum of Ancient Art say the statue shattered after it was knocked over by the hapless tourist.

The offending photographer is said to have posted a photo of the destroyed statue to Facebook and said “it’s the price to be paid for free entrances on the first Sunday of every month”.

Portugal’s Ministry of Culture said the accident has raised concerns about security in the museum.

An increase in museum staff is now underway, it said.

Portuguese authorities are still investigating and it is not yet known if any charges will be brought against the tourist.
