Bayeux Tapestry
-
Embroidered in 1077, this much-loved treasure unfolds, with astonishing detail, clarity and drama, the story of Duke William’s conquest of England. The galleries leading up to the tapestry bring the historical background vividly to life. The cloth itself – all 70 m (230 ft) of it – is displayed behind glass.

This was so utterly amazing; can't imagine how it has survived so long! You get a headset that narrates the story for you as you wander past the very long tapestry, again explaining everything for you.
