A Norman boat replica on the outside of the museum that houses the Bayeaux Tapestry. Unfortunately you can't take any photos inside, but the tapestry is a magnificent art work. All hand embroidered about 1190 A.D., about 3 feet high and 210 feet long!!!, it tells the story of William the Conquerer's preparation and battle to control England. William lived here in this city, and his brother was one of the heads of the Catholic Church here. It is thought that he commissioned the making of the tapestry, but there is some controversy about its origin. It escaped destruction twice during the French Revolution.
