Bayeux Tapestry

ATTENTION! The Bayeux Tapestry Museum is closed for renovation work. The Tapestry will remain inaccessible until the museum reopens in October 2027.

Listed on Unesco's Memory of the World register since 2007, the Bayeux Tapestry is a genuine masterpiece of Romanesque art. This one-piece canvas wall hanging, embroidered in the 11th century, is of a length of 70m and a height of 50cm.
It offers an illustrated narration of the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 by the Duke of Normandy, later to become William the Conqueror. It is a truly unique document on European life in the Middle Ages.
