Hungary's Museum of Ethnography is barring minors from part of a photo exhibition showing homosexuality, a week after the head of another museum was fired for failing to enforce an access ban. The culture minister fired the director of the Hungarian National Museum on November 6 for "failing to comply" with a controversial law that bans the "promotion" of homosexuality to people under 18. The institution had said it "cannot legally enforce" the order stopping under-18s attending the prestigious annual World Press Photo exhibition, which showed a series of pictures of a community of older LGBT people in the Philippines.
