"The British Museum has just announced that kids will be able to visit for free. Yep, anyone under the age of 16 won't have to pay to view the 70m-long artwork, which depicts the events leading up to the Norman Conquest in 1066."
"Though the world's most famous tapestry has resided in Bayeux, Normandy for the past 900 years, it's widely believed to have been embroidered in Canterbury, Kent."
"The London exhibition will mark the first time ever that the epic artwork has ever been displayed outside France."
The Bayeux Tapestry exhibition will open at the British Museum in September 2026, after multiple unsuccessful attempts to borrow it over the past century. The tapestry, which depicts events leading to the Norman Conquest in 1066, will be displayed outside France for the first time. Children under 16 will be granted free admission, aligning with the history curriculum for Key Stage 3. Ticket prices for adults and concessions are yet to be announced, with sales starting on July 1.
