Pieces of the Bayeux Tapestry stolen by a Nazi scientist during the occupation of France were recently returned. The small fragments were presented to the mayor of Bayeux on January 15.

The Bayeux Tapestry will be returning to England for the first time in nearly a millennia. The British Museum will display the tapestry from September 2026 to July 2027 while the Bayeux Museum is undergoing renovations.

“Here a certain clerk and Aelfgyva” Who Aelfgyva and the cleric perhaps caressing or striking her face were is not known to us. Their stories have been lost to the sands of time but this affecting scene beneath an ornate arch endures.

Happy Thanksgiving
A hog from a 19th century portrait, expanded and edited so that it stars in the New York City Thanksgiving parade. It is being carried by a group of Ronald McDonalds (which doesn't make sense, but does make sense because the original image was of a Ronald McDonald float).

The #BayeuxTapestry will be heading off for some restoration work from Sept 1st 2025 for 2 years so it you want to see this amazing 1000 year old piece you need to visit before the end of next August or wait until Oct 2027. Helpful note - Eco-Gites of Lénault is just 45mins from #Bayeux
