Bayeux Tapestry Returns to England After 1,000 Years
The historic Bayeux Tapestry, nearly 1,000 years old, traveled from France under covert, high-security conditions to the British Museum in London.
The priceless embroidery depicts the Norman conquest and was likely created in England before being housed in Bayeux.
The loan exhibition, scheduled from September 2026 to July 2027, has already sold out.
The tapestry's secret midnight journey involved police escorts and special technology to protect the fragile artifact.
