The Bayeux Tapestry, an iconic depiction of the Norman Conquest, is scheduled for display at the British Museum in London. Reports indicate this will be the first time the tapestry has been in the UK since its creation. In a reciprocal arrangement, the British Museum plans to lend the Sutton Hoo treasures to a French museum. Ongoing negotiations for this exhibition date back to 2018 but were affected by the pandemic. The timing aligns with significant renovations at the tapestry's home museum in Bayeux, France.
The Bayeux Tapestry, depicting the Norman Conquest, is set for exhibition at the British Museum in London, with arrangements reportedly involving a loan of the Sutton Hoo treasures.
This will be the first time in over a thousand years that the original tapestry has been displayed in the UK since it was created, likely by Canterbury embroiderers.
