British Museum Shuts Down Photography for Bayeux Tapestry After Opening Weekend
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.
