周五夜间，贝叶挂毯通过受控气候箱和防震支架被秘密运送至伦敦大英博物馆 [1]。这件描绘了公元 1066 年诺曼征服英格兰历史事件的文物，在离开法国近 1000 年后抵达英国进行首次访问 [1]。
此次展览将持续至 2027 年 7 月 [1]。法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙将这一交换行动称为法英关系的“有形表达”[1]，并视其为两国友谊的具体体现以及英国脱欧后修复双边关系的重要象征 [1]。作为此次文物出借的回报条件，大英博物馆同意向位于诺曼底的法国博物馆出借萨顿胡盎格鲁 - 撒克逊考古文物 [1]。
The Bayeux Tapestry has arrived in London after nearly a millennium away from France, marking its first-ever exhibition at the British Museum [1]. The artifact was secretly transported to the museum late Friday night using climate-controlled cases and shock-absorbing supports [1]. French President Emmanuel Macron described this exchange as a "tangible expression" of Franco-British friendship [1], signaling an effort to repair relations following Brexit [1]. In return for hosting the tapestry, which depicts the history of the Norman Conquest in 1066 [1], the British Museum will lend Anglo-Saxon artifacts from Sutton Hoo to a museum in Normandy [1]. The exhibition is scheduled to run until July 2027 [1].
