The British: Give you back what?
Let’s see if it will stay there like the greek statues.

Multiple specialists have advised against it, as it presents an enormous risk for the tapestry itself, and no measures proposed have seemed enough to guarantee its safe transportation.
It’s a stupid, political move regarding a priceless artifact.

I went to see it last year. I was amazed at the number of cocks on it.
After exhibit:
“Alright… Now give it back.”
Brits with empty hands: “Give what back?”
Wow it’s on the side of a building.
I always thought it was smaller.
🤔
ironic
“return”?
Are we sure the British are developed enough to take care of their artefacts? It’s safer if the French museums just take care of these artefacts for them /s
I had no idea the tapestry was that big!
Eugh george osbourne
Ugh George Osborne jump scare
I had no idea the Bayeux Tapestry was so big.
Unrelated, are the rooms behind the advertising billboard inhabited? I can’t imagine people wanting/being allowed to live in windowless rooms. Unless they’re businesses/storefronts with artificial lighting.
Definitely having a look at that.
Yeah, they are going to damage it for this stupid show.
It is 1000 year old embroidery with number of repairs done to it through the centuries. Also extremely large and heavy and frail.
EDIT: Ok, downvote me, I am still 100% correct.
The UK can exchange the tapestry for the Elgin Marbles. Everyone should be happy with that.
Can someone more knowledgeable in this matter than me explain the history and significance of this relic? And what it symbolizes?
can the British Museum now return everything they stole to their respective lands?
I saw it two summers ago on a trip to Normandy and it is quite a nice museum. I hope as others have said that it isn’t damaged in transport or exhibition, it is such a unique thing to see though.
Nice, can’t wait to go see it.
It’s ours now, not having it back
Seeing it this big it makes you think why did they not just display it digitally at a larger scale than move the original item in the first place.

And when will you return the marbles to the Greeks?
God if only we had finished the job.
It’s bigger than I thought.
Reading museum has a version of the tapestry created during the Victorian era. It’s very beautiful to see…
I like the newer version in Reading, it’s censored (no nudity)
