The head of Hungary’s National Museum has been sacked for allegedly letting under-18s view LGBT content.

A controversial Hungarian law bans the “display and promotion of homosexuality” in materials accessible to children, such as books and films.

The museum recently hosted the World Press Photo exhibition, featuring shots of LGBT people in the Philippines.

The government said Laszlo Simon had failed to follow “legal obligations” with the show – something he denied.
