The thing with leather is that it's very sensitive. Our skin is oily, even if it's not something you see, but it leaves a mark on leather. Imagine thousands of people touching that leather. Not to mention there are animals that call themselves human, breaking centuries old sculptures, just for fun. This is why every exhibition has cameras and tight security. Some things you break, can't be replaced anymore, or repaired.

Now that makes sense. And therefore I learn something new about artworks: even when something you can (normally) touch, must NEVER touch.
Nonetheless, this really is a good post overall. Thanks for teaching me something!
