Who owns the Tapestry?
The Bayeux Tapestry is owned by the city of Bayeux in Normandy, France. It is usually displayed there, so its presence at the British Museum is a significant loan. This temporary exhibition is a rare opportunity for Britons to see it, which likely contributes to the high demand for tickets.
