French voice fears over Bayeux Tapestry move to UK
French concerns arise over the potential move of the Bayeux Tapestry to the UK, documenting the Norman invasion of England in 1066. Amid fears of the 70m-long delicate masterpiece, experts warn against transporting it across the Channel to the British Museum for a display slated for September next year. French President Emmanuel Macron's cultural diplomacy plan included loaning the tapestry to the British Museum, sparking opposition within the French art world.
