The Bayeux Tapestry
Witness a significant piece of history; the Bayeux Tapestry returns to England for the first time in 1,000 years.
Spanning a monumental 70 metres in length, the Bayeux Tapestry is a remarkable record of medieval life and craftmanship. Its embroidered scenes tell the story of the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and the events that led up to it, a major moment that changed the course of English history.
For the first time in 1,000 years, experience this epic textile as it returns to England. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the Bayeux Tapestry in all its glory at the British Museum in London.
