The Bayeux Tapestry

Published the 07/10/2015
Each year visitors from around the world come to the museum to admire this key work of the Middle Ages. Listed “World Heritage” by UNESCO, the 70 metres long Tapestry recounts the Conquest of England by William, Duke of Normandy. Since September 1, 2025, the Bayeux Tapestry Museum has been closed to the public for renovations. It will reopen in October 2027. The Tapestry will not be on display during this period. It may be loaned to the British Museum for a few months while the future Bayeux Tapestry Museum is being built.
