Finally, the Bayeux tapestry’s first exhibition outside France at the British Museum provides a profound look at the 1066 Norman invasion, using its incomplete, 900-year-old narrative to reflect on the persistent, universal themes of power, violence, and survival that continue to resonate through history.
