The British Museum has been partially closed off to visitors after a former worker allegedly shut down its IT network.
A British Museum spokesman told the BBC: “An IT contractor who was dismissed last week trespassed into the museum and shut down several of our systems.
“Police attended and he was arrested at the scene.
“We are working hard to get the museum back to being fully operational but with regret our temporary exhibitions have been closed today and will remain so over the weekend – ticket holders have been alerted and refunds offered.”
