The Bayeux Tapestry's Big Move: A Leap of Faith or a Necessary Step? The arrival of the Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum marks a significant moment in history.
For nearly 1,000 years, this 70 meter long embroidery has been on display in Normandy, depicting the events leading up to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.
Nick Cullinan, director of the British Museum, insists that no damage is the goal and that every precaution has been taken to ensure the tapestry's safe arrival.
