A one-of-a-kind, modern sculptural clock was damaged at the National Watch and Clock Museum in Columbia, Pa., when it fell off a wall last Sunday.
Surveillance video shows a visitor to one of the timepiece galleries attempting to work the clock, despite the “Do Not Touch” signs.
The video shows the timepiece fall off the wall after the visitor makes several attempts to get the clock working.
It also shows the visitor trying to put the clock back on the wall. When that failed, the visitor rests the damaged clock on the floor.

Museum personnel were immediately notified and collected the timepiece.
No criminal charges are being considered.
According to the museum, the clock is a modern sculptural clock by Minnesota artist James Borden, who donated the timepiece to the museum in 1994.
It is six feet long and four feet wide and has internal workings known as a “grasshopper escapement.”
Borden has been contacted about the clock and plans to see if he can repair his sculptural timepiece.
