Musee de la Tapisserie de Bayeux, Bayeux

I think this place is excellent. Even my 4 and 8 year old listened to the child's version of the story fully for the whole duration, walking slowly around the tapestry. A decent new film could be made of this!

The tapestry itself is AMAZING!!! I loved the display setup and how it is in its own space. The only downside of this portion of the museum was how quickly the audio guide moved through the tapestry and that you couldn't pause it to look at it more. I understand wanting to keep people moving, and perhaps you can ask to go through again, but a slower pace would've been nice. The section of the museum about the history of the tapestry, how it was made and preservation efforts was also really well done. The general historical portion of the museum was a little more underwhelming.

Very enjoyable. You are given an audio phone which explains the piece of tapestry that you are viewing. The English version is clear and informative. A 'must see ' if you are in the area. The accompanying video is also very interesting and informative.

What an awesome piece of tapestry. I was truly amazed at the hand stitching performed on this work of art. Cannot show you, as this treasure is being preserved for future generations. No light exposure allowed. You have to go and see it in person. Fortunately for you.

Really well organised and presented museum. The first thing you do is see the tapestry itself, for which you're given an audio guide that follows the section numbers on the tapestry. This is informative and well narrated, but also serves to keep the flow of visitors moving at a decent pace. I suspect many people will visit the tapestry and then leave, but the exhibition and film upstairs are both very much worth a visit - give a lot of background to the history behind the Battle of Hastings, and the creation of the tapestry itself.
