CultureThe Bayeux Tapestry in London: What’s behind the hype?

The Bayeux Tapestry’s exhibition at the British Museum has drawn intense interest across the UK. The roughly 70-meter medieval linen embroidery depicts the Norman conquest of England in 1066 and is regarded both as a symbol of British identity and as a propagandistic historical document. France approved the loan last year, and tickets sold out rapidly.
