Bayeux Tapestry in the news: debate over a UK tour and a loan backlash; a 11th‑century embroidered narrative of William’s Norman conquest.
The Bayeux tapestry is being shown in Britain for the first time in almost a millennium, with tickets selling fast and queues forming online. The British Museum is hosting the 70m embroidery from September 2026 to July 2027, with higher peak prices and several future ticket releases. Conservation and transport safety are emphasized.
