Exhibition: The Bayeux Tapestry

27 Mar – 25 Apr

Abbaye de Montivilliers, 76290 Montivilliers

Think of the Bayeux Tapestry, which depicts the preparations for, and subsequent conquest of, England by William, Duke of Normandy, and his troops. Now imagine 63 hand-painted wooden panels, assembled with millimetre precision, faithfully reproducing this 70-metre-long epic tapestry. Unlike the original, this reproduction features a conclusion based on research carried out by the library on Alderney (an Channel Island off the coast of Cherbourg). Members of the Montivillon-based association Fleurs de Bois have devoted a year and a half to this project to restore a jewel of Normandy’s heritage. Wednesday to Sunday, 2 pm to 5 pm (until 6 pm from 1 April)
