The Bayeux Tapestry

The Bayeux Tapestry is one of the most represented works of art across the globe. Even before discovering it within the museum where it is displayed, each and every one of us has seen at least one illustration of one of the 58 scenes it comprises. And it always comes as a surprise to the visitor who never imagined it to be as long, or as narrow, or as lively or as colourful as it is in real life. It enthuses audiences of all origins.No-one is insensitive to this 950 year-old story, which is told in the form of image and Latin text.
