George Osborne has revealed the reason that the British Museum is straying from tradition when displaying the Bayeux Tapestry – which won’t be hung on the wall like it is France.
The 230 foot-long work depicts the events leading up to 1066’s Normal Conquest of England and dates back to the 11th century. It has been transported from France’s Bayeux to the British Museum in London and will be open to the public in September.
