Parts of the world-famous British Museum remain closed following a suspected IT attack by a former employee. All temporary exhibitions were still closed to the public on Sunday, according to a museum spokesperson. It is unclear when they will be able to be visited again.

On Saturday, it was reported that a former technician had broken into the museum and "switched off several of our systems". The police confirmed to the PA news agency that they had been called out on Thursday evening because "damage to the museum's security and IT systems" had been reported. The man was released on bail.

Visitors are informed about the restrictions on the museum's website. "The museum is open, but due to an IT infrastructure problem, some galleries had to be closed", the museum states (see screenshot above).
