Two insects have crawled under the glass of an industrial photograph by the German artist couple Bernd and Hilla Becher.

The work hangs in the Museum of Contemporary Art in the Iranian capital, Tehran.

The museum immediately decided to interrupt the exhibition and temporarily close the museum so as not to endanger the valuable German industrial photo and other works, as also reported by Tehrantimes.com.

The insects are said to be silverfish.
