Bayeux Tapestry on Display in London After 900 Years
The Bayeux Tapestry, an 11th-century medieval artwork depicting the Norman Conquest of England, has gone on display at the British Museum in London. This marks its first exhibition in England in 900 years. The exhibition has sold 100,000 tickets, with some visitors reportedly turned away due to others staying longer than allocated time. The tapestry, described as an "extraordinary object" and a "once-in-a-millennium moment," has traveled to England for this highly anticipated showing.
