The police had to consult an explosive expert because the situation was classified as sensitive, especially in the context of a recent killing spree nearby. The area around the package was cordoned off to ensure the safety of those present. In particular, the State Police Directorate of Styria pointed out that operations are not only complex due to suspicious packages, but the costs for such operations are usually charged to the cause.
The responsibility of art
This incident not only shows the importance of public security, but also raises questions about the responsibility in the presentation and dealing with works of art. According to a guide that was distributed to museums, exhibition objects must be carefully assessed because they can recover potential dangers. The freedom of art must always take into account the fundamental right to life and physical integrity, as well as Kulturbewaren.de explained.
The brochure "Safe exhibition of works of art and objects" emphasizes that possible risks should be systematically identified and protective measures should be derived. In this regard, children who have a special curiosity and often less danger have a higher need for protection. The precautions in museums and exhibition houses are part of the traffic safety obligation, which should protect both visitors and employees.
