The Bayeux Tapestry exhibition opens at the British Museum in London. It marks a rare Anglo-French cultural moment amid geopolitical shifts.
背景
The 11th-century Bayeux Tapestry, a 70-meter embroidered cloth depicting the Norman conquest of England, is on loan from France to the UK for the first time in centuries. The exhibition at the British Museum runs for nine months, and its arrival is seen as a symbol of improved Anglo-French relations, especially as the US under Donald Trump threatens to leave Europe to fend for itself.
