I'm just guessing, but maybe it was selfie/portrait accidents in the past, where people came to close to the exhibits, toppling them over.
After taking a better look: everything seems firmly secured here. I still think preventing portraits is a possible explanation: No accidental touching of the objects when people hold their face too close, or grabbing of objects when they stumble during posing.
