The Bayeux Tapestry has crossed the English Channel for the first time in 900 years

The Bayeux Tapestry, a renowned medieval artifact depicting the Norman conquest of England in 1066, has traveled across the English Channel for the first time in over 900 years. After a secretive and highly secured overnight journey, the delicate 68-meter tapestry arrived in London and will be displayed at the British Museum from September 10, 2027, to July 11, 2027. The exhibit, funded by the UK, follows extensive planning and conservation efforts, including prior test moves with replicas. French President Emmanuel Macron described the loan as a symbol of Franco-British cooperation, while the French ambassador called the event 'a very moving moment.' This marks the first time the tapestry has left France since its creation in the 11th century.
