"The exhibition of the 70-metre-long masterpiece, telling the dramatic story of the Norman Conquest stitch by stitch, is expected to become one of the most sought-after exhibitions in the Museum's history."
"Joining the British Museum's membership scheme offers priority booking before public sales open, free repeat visits to all paid exhibitions, including this one, and access to exclusive events. Membership costs £74 per year, which is roughly the same as if you paid for three of their exhibitions."
"The Museum has also confirmed that special early opening hours will be reserved for British schoolchildren, ensuring young people across the country can experience this historic loan. A wider national programme linked to the tapestry's visit is also being planned, so that those unable to travel to London can still share in this extraordinary moment."
The British Museum will exhibit the 70-metre Bayeux Tapestry, a historic masterpiece depicting the Norman Conquest, from September 2026 through July 2027. Ticket sales commence July 1, 2026, with three release dates covering different visit periods. High demand is anticipated, making this a rare exhibition opportunity. British Museum members receive priority booking access and free repeat visits. Special early opening hours will accommodate British schoolchildren, and a national programme will enable those unable to visit London to participate in this historic event.
