The British Museum has announced measures to reduce long queues and overcrowding at the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition, including longer opening hours, an audio guide, additional seating, and clearer signage. Demand has been high since tickets went on sale in July, with 100,000 sold on the first day, but some visitors waited up to two hours or were turned away due to backlog. Starting Monday, the museum will introduce audio guides, more signage, seating, and extended hours to better accommodate visitors.
