Although made in England, this amazing embroidery has been in Normandy for almost 1000 years.  In September 2026, in an outstanding historical moment, the Bayeux Tapestry will be lent to England for display in the British Museum.   Made in the 11th century and over 220 feet in length, the Tapestry tells the story of the 1066 Norman invasion.  It shows armour, horses, costumes, shipbuilding, and even occasional nudity.  For centuries it was at risk of destruction and of seizure by leaders such as Napoleon and Himmler.  The Bayeux Tapestry is a remarkable cultural treasure whose survival is to be celebrated.
