Since the announcement of the eventual loan of the Bayeux Tapestry to the UK, the museum confirms that visitors can see the embroidery in Bayeux still for few years....
Bayeux museums participate to the European Heritage Days on Saturday 21 SEPTEMBER and Sunday 22 SEPTEMBER - Free entrance.
Created by Tourism Ireland, the Tapestry Game of Thrones, very inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry, is exhibited in the Normandy city this Autumn 2019.
Step into the engrossing story of the conquest of England by William, Duke of Normandy in 1066, told in a 70 meters long embroidery. With a visit to the museum, you can discover the complete Bayeux Tapestry, study it close up without causing damage to it, and understand its history and how it was created thanks to an audio-guide commentary available in 16 languages. A commentary for children is also available in French and English. A permanent exhibition on the first floor and a film will enrich your visit.
