The Bayeux Tapestry Will Be Displayed in the UK for the First Time in Nearly 1,000 Years

GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 8 – The Bayeux Tapestry will be displayed at the British Museum from September 2026 to July 2027 in exchange for Sutton Hoo treasures loaned to France, marking a historic cultural partnership.

  • On Tuesday, Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, and his spouse Brigitte Macron arrived in the UK for a state visit and were officially received by King Charles III at Windsor Castle.
  • This visit follows longstanding Anglo-French ties and includes a planned cultural exchange where the 11th century Bayeux Tapestry will be loaned to Britain from September 2026 to June 2027.
  • The visit was marked by military pageantry, including a 41-gun salute, a procession of royal carriages, and warm greetings at RAF Northolt involving President Macron and his wife, the King and Queen, as well as the senior members of the royal family accompanying them.
  • Macron described the tapestry loan as symbolizing a renewed cultural trust, while King Charles emphasized that Britain and France face complex threats together "as friends and as allies".
  • The event reflects a diplomatic effort to strengthen UK-France relations, with anticipated discussions on defense, migration, and cooperation at a UK-France Summit later in the week.
