British Museum Lectures: The Bayeux Tapestry

British Museum Lectures: The Bayeux Tapestry is a series of talks discussing the British Museum's exhibition and its accompanying publications.

The lectures discuss the British Museum's exhibition, The Bayeux Tapestry, and its accompanying publications. These new titles mark the historic moment of the loan of the Tapestry to the British Museum, the first time it has been displayed outside of France in almost 1,000 years. The Tapestry is a unique historical embroidery, almost 70 metres long, which tells the story of the events leading to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. It reveals details from civil and military architecture to armour, seafaring and everyday life.
