Is the Bayeux Tapestry now at the British Museum?
The Bayeux Tapestry has indeed arrived at the British Museum, marking its first UK display since it was made nearly 1,000 years ago, with King Charles and French President Emmanuel Macron viewing it ahead of the public opening on 10 September [1, 2, 5]. It did suffer a minor tear during transit from France, though this was confirmed to be minimal after close inspection [3].
