Bayeux Tapestry returns to Britain after nearly 1,000 years

The Bayeux Tapestry has returned to Britain for the first time in nearly a thousand years, going on display at the British Museum in London. The 70-metre-long medieval masterpiece depicts the 1066 Norman Conquest and the Battle of Hastings, including the death of King Harold. Curator Millie Horton-Insch says the tapestry was likely created in England by women shortly after the Norman Conquest. Its return from France has been celebrated as a major act of cultural diplomacy and friendship between the two countries. The exhibition has attracted huge public interest, with tickets sold out for months as visitors explore the tapestry’s intricate and graphic historical scenes.
