The enormous insurance for the tapestry: 920 million euros!

The article discusses the return of the Bayeux Tapestry to the British Museum after nearly a millennium. The tapestry, which depicts the Norman conquest of England in 1066, has been on display at the museum since September 10th until July 11th, 2027. It was transported from France under careful planning, including technical studies and test drives with a replica. The UK government provided insurance covering up to £800 million (approximately €920 million) to ensure the tapestry's safe return. French President Emmanuel Macron had previously announced this cultural exchange as symbolic of renewed trust between the two nations. The tapestry, believed to have been created around 1077 in Canterbury or nearby, is considered a significant historical artifact.

Secret operation completed: 70-meter tapestry from Bayeux has arrived in London

Danes je v London pripravljal zgodnjih jutranjih urah slavna 70-metrska tapiserija iz Bayeuxa, ki bo od septembra 2026 na ogled v Britanskem muzeju. Tapiserija, ki datira iz 11. stoletja, je bila v tajni operaciji prevozena preko Rokavskega preliva pod strogi varnostni zaščito. Prevoz, financiran z Veliko Britanco, je trajal več mesecov, vključno z dvema preskusnima vožnjama z reprodukcijo tapiserije. Tapiserija, ki prikazuje bitko pri Hastingsu, je bila v Franciji do zdaj, toda zdaj je vrnjena v Britanijo. Razstava bo najbolj prodajana v zgodovini muzeja, saj so že prodali 100.000 vstopnic v prvih štirih mesecih. Muzej je ocenil, da bo ta razstava prinašala več kot 2,5 milijona funtov prihodkov.
