The Bayeux Tapestry Will Be Displayed in the UK for the First Time in Nearly 1,000 Years
The iconic Bayeux Tapestry—an embroidered masterpiece illustrating the 1066 Norman invasion and the Battle of Hastings—is set to be displayed in the UK for the first time in nearly 1,000 years. The 70-meter-long, 50-centimeter-wide (230 feet by 20 inches) tapestry is being loaned by the Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeux in Normandy, France, to the British Museum in London as part of an exchange between the two nations.
