The historic Bayeux Tapestry has arrived at the British Museum in London, marking its first display in the United Kingdom since its creation nearly a millennium ago. The 70-meter-long embroidery, a significant artifact detailing the Norman conquest of England in 1066, was delivered to the museum under police guard during the night.
Organizers undertook careful planning to ensure the delicate artifact was protected during its journey from France. The tapestry's arrival is a notable event, allowing the public in the UK to view the nearly 1,000-year-old piece of embroidered art for the first time in its history.
