You should never touch a painting on display at a museum because the oils from our hands can be extremely damaging to the paintings. Touching artwork can lead to permanent damage, such as degradation of the materials, discoloration, or transferring oils and dirt onto the surface. Museums take great care to preserve and protect their collections, and touching the artwork can jeopardize that preservation effort.
