Musée de la tapisserie de Bayeux, Medieval history museum in Bayeux, France
The Bayeux Tapestry Museum displays a 70-meter-long embroidered cloth that narrates the Norman conquest of England through detailed scenes and characters.
Created between 1066 and 1083, the tapestry was commissioned by Bishop Odo of Bayeux to commemorate his half-brother William the Conqueror's victory at Hastings.
The tapestry combines Latin inscriptions with Norman-style imagery to document medieval warfare, politics, and daily life in extraordinary detail.
The museum provides audio guides in 16 languages and offers combined tickets with other local museums for a complete historical experience.
The embroidered narrative contains 626 human figures, 202 horses, 505 other animals, and 37 buildings, all preserved in their original wool yarn colors.
