The medieval Bayeux Tapestry arrived in London after nearly 1,000 years early on Friday. The tapestry is on loan from France for a year and will be exhibited at the British Museum. Its journey has been surrounded by secrecy due to security concerns.
On loan from its home in France, the tapestry will go on display at the British Museum from September 10 until July 2027. It is a public homecoming for a vivid visual record of the 1066 Norman invasion, the last successful conquest of England.
