Celebrating the landmark British Museum exhibition in 2026, this exquisitely produced, deluxe volume offers the collector an experiential connection to the singular artwork
The Bayeux Tapestry is an iconic artwork, almost seventy meters long, which tells the story of the events leading to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 by William, Duke of Normandy. Its account of eleventh-century England and France is like no other, revealing details from civil and military architecture to armor, seafaring, and everyday life. It also includes an intriguing selection of popular fables, figures, and mythical creatures embroidered into its borders, contributing to its mystery and ambiguity.
Featuring a full-color reproduction of the tapestry and all-new photography, this beautiful book allows the reader to follow the visual narrative of this exemplary work in a luxurious cloth-covered volume. A second, removable volume contains remarks from international experts and special curatorial commentary on the tapestry that serve as a personal guide through this masterpiece of medieval art.
Published to celebrate the landmark loan of the Tapestry to the British Museum in 2026, the first time it has been displayed outside of France in almost a thousand years, this timeless new book will become the essential volume about the Bayeux Tapestry for generations to come.
