"The 11th-century Bayeux Tapestry, which details the Norman conquest of England, is returning home to Britain for the first time in nearly 1,000 years. It has been in France since 1077.

France will loan the 230-foot-long embroidered textile to the British Museum, where it will be exhibited from September 2026 to July 2027. Officials announced the agreement on July 8 during French President Emmanuel Macron’s state visit to the United Kingdom.

“For the first time in 900 years the Bayeux tapestry will follow the same path as the warriors whose stories it tells and land on British soil,” Macron explained at a recent state banquet held at Windsor Castle, per the Guardian’s Nadia Khomami and Morgan Ofori."
