Ming dynasty chair breaks under visitor at Minneapolis Institute of Arts
A museum guest sat on a 16th century Ming chair donated by Bruce Dayton, causing the piece to crack in three places. The chair will be repaired and protected, no liability imposed, as officials note damage is usually due to age and environment rather than handling.
