Macron opens exhibition of Bayeux carpet in London

French President Emmanuel Macron opened an exhibition featuring the famous Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum in London alongside King Charles III. The tapestry, a UNESCO World Heritage artifact from the 11th century, depicts the Norman conquest of England in 1066. Macron expressed hope that the exhibition would strengthen Franco-British relations, comparing them to the intricate threads of the tapestry. Experts had raised concerns about the delicate condition of the tapestry before its loan, which has already sustained damage. The exhibition, lasting until July 2027, has sold out tickets through the end of the year, with costs estimated at €5.8 million covered by the museum and sponsors.
