British Museum Shuts Down Photography for Bayeux Tapestry After Opening Weekend
TL;DR Summary
The British Museum has banned photography of the 11th‑century Bayeux Tapestry just days after its blockbuster exhibition opened, reversing an early allowance; the move is tied to visitor experience and ongoing conservation concerns during the tapestry’s transfer from France, with visitors limited to a 40‑minute viewing window as the show runs through July 2027.
