The Bayeux Tapestry in London: What's behind the hype?

Comments

1. Ariagrant: i've always been fascinated by history, especially how it's interpreted in modern contexts - is this tapestry really a symbol of british identity?
2. Mia: i'm more curious about the logistics behind displaying a 70m-long tapestry in a museum than the hype itself
3. Ninadumontxo: i don't get why this tapestry is getting so much attention, haven't people seen medieval art before?
4. Arlo: have people actually seen this thing up close yet or is it just hype?
5. Meyerivy: seems like a lot of weight put on something so old
6. Danelundxo: it looks like this is going to be a really visually stunning exhibit, can't wait to see the whole tapestry up close
7. Miasantosxo: i'm not sure what all the fuss is about – wasn't this thing just hanging in a french museum for years?
8. Vanta Wolf: Still weird to me that something so old is getting so much attention now, guess it's just been under wraps for too long
9. Crimson Shard: what's striking to me is how an artifact this old is still speaking to people today somehow
10. Diego: I've never really understood what all the fuss is about tbh, been to see some incredible art pieces before that didn't get half this attention, but hey maybe I'm just
11. Silent Moth: never really understood why this one's getting so much attention, I mean I've seen it before in the history books
