Tapestry is in itself not always that interesting but the history (real and alleged) of this piece is so special!
Some facts:
First of all it's not tapestry but embroidery. And the quality of it is just perfect!
Secondly the piece is 70 metres long! That is a whole lot of cloth right?
And lastly: it's really old (11th century).
What? You don't know what's on it? Well, it's an account of the history preceding the battle of Hastings in 1066 and the battle itself.
I'm pretty sure you have seen images of it somewhere because it's really really famous (it's on the Unesco heritage-list).
Seeing it live is really special because there is so much detail to be seen, so many interesting scenes and the audio-guide is perfect.
So visit this museum when you've got a chance!
