Musee de la Tapisserie de Bayeux, Bayeux

Viewing the Bayeaux Tapestry was an amazing experience. The audio commentary was really well done, very informative and perfectly timed. The additional displays describing the construction and history of the Tapestry were so interesting. Altogether a memorable visit.

Very well done Bayeux! The kids enjoyed having their own audio to listen in English at their level. The tapestry is fascinating and the rest of the museum is engaging and interesting. Highly recommended!

Fascinating and unique exhibit. Queues can be troublesome - I wonder if they could raise up half the walkway / tier so people can look over each other's shoulders as they go round? Price a little high but doesn't deter the crowds.

Came here the day after visiting the battle grounds of Hastings as our son had learnt all about this period of history in school and wanted to see the tapestry. You take an audio tour with headsets in multiple languages which explain the different elements of the tapestry. This should keep people moving at about the same pace, but either some of the languages take longer than others or people just stop and look so you end up having some commentary that is not relevant to the piece you are looking at. regardless this is an impressive piece of artwork and history. Lots of information on how it was created and where its been and some general information about the battle and living in that period in a museum at the end.

As a historian, this was a pilgrimage fulfilled after many trips to France. Seeing the France's most important mediveal artifact in person, was a dream fulfilled. No photos of the Tapestry because you can't take photos.
