The British Museum says it is extending viewing hours for the Bayeux Tapestry, responding to heavy demand from visitors since the medieval embroidery went on display in London. The 11th-century work, lent by France, depicts the Norman conquest of England and has drawn large crowds, prompting the museum to give the public more time to see it.
Why now: The tapestry's rare loan to Britain has attracted exceptional crowds, making access a live news topic.
