The Bayeux Tapestry is on its way to England: this is why I think it's the perfect way to tell history to a new audience
15th October 2025
In just under a year’s time, London will
be the setting for one of the most famous pieces of royal history
of all. The Bayeux Tapestry, which tells the story of how William
the Conqueror won the throne of England at Hastings and changed the
country forever, will go on show at the British Museum in the
autumn of 2026. It’s the first time it will ever have been
displayed in England.
