The Bayeux Tapestry officially opens its doors to the public tomorrow, so now feels like a good time to share this video 🎬
Approaching three and a half million views, this recreation of a scene from the Tapestry on the steps of The British Museum has become one of the most-viewed videos the museum has produced! #globalmuseum #BayeuxTapestry #BritishMuseum

@globalmuseum what does "officially opens its doors to the public" mean? Has it been inaccessible recently? I went and saw it years ago while backpacking, and I'm just an ordinary member of the public.
@Hyperlynx @globalmuseum not in the uk you didn’t. It’s on loan to the British museum for the first time.
@spzb @globalmuseum oh. Yeah, I saw it in Bayeux.
I did wonder what the British Museum steps had to do with anything...
@Hyperlynx @spzb Good for exercising the troops?😂
@globalmuseum my best friend, who has a degree in medieval studies told me there are 93 penises in Bayeux Tapestry. What she didn’t tell me was that most of them are horses.
@IcooIey If you are visiting the exhibition to count genitals you are bound to be dissapointed
@globalmuseum
The shoes they are wearing are looking terribly comfortable
