The Bayeux Tapestry is a 70-metre long embroidery made in the 11th century which celebrates the conquest of England by William, Duke of Normandy. The linen canvas was embroidered after the Battle of Hastings on October 14th, 1066, probably in a monastery in the south of England.
The Bayeux Tapestry is one of the most famous works of art in the western world from medieval times.
A key source for history and for the history of civilisations, since 2007 this Norman work of art has been added to the UNESCO “Memory of the World” Register.
