“Attention! Snow and snowmen fall from the roof!” the workers wrote on the Facebook page of the museum, commenting on the snowman that lay upside down. The second snowman sat on bench nearby, My Žiar reported.

“Meteorologists announced that it was snowing. So we wanted to have fun, not just a calamity. We created snowmen with colleagues to welcome the Christmas season, and visitors as well,” said Jana Slaná from the museum, as quoted by My Žiar.
