artwork and important historical
. It chronicles 58
surrounding the successful military
and takeover of England in 1066 by France's Duke William of Normandy. It shows the
of England's King Harold II, who was hit in the eye by an
at the Battle of Hastings. Historians believe the tapestry was made in England as a
for William. For the past 900 years, it has been preserved in Bayeux, France. It is
at the British Museum in London, where it will be put on
between September 2026 and July 2027.
