The Hecht Museum presents priceless archaeological items without barriers for visitors to connect closely with history; however, this approach can lead to risks, as exemplified by an unfortunate incident.
The jar, having existed for 3,500 years before its destruction, was a significant cultural artifact, representing ancient Canaan and illustrating the region's historical depth.
Dr. Inbal Rivlin emphasized the rarity of such intact Middle Bronze Age artifacts since most found in excavations are broken. The jar's intact condition made it a remarkable exhibition piece.
The incident with the jar underscores the balance museums face between accessibility and preservation, a challenge reflected upon by Dr. Reuben Hecht's vision for the museum.
