This is really great news, something I've liked to see for a long time but never managed to find the time to do. On display at the British Museum from 2022:

There are some calls for a reciprocal loan, possibly of the Rosetta stone which I think would be an excellent gesture.

Maybe Norwich could lend them their Milk Cup, or whatever that piece of junk is called. |  |

Saw it in the summer - very impressive.
And the museum in Bayeux issue everyone with a headset which talks you through it in order, so you all have to walk along at pretty much the same pace.
Except for one French family who decided not to bother with the headset and walked along at their own pace causing a mobile chicane.
Also went to some of the Normandy Landings, associated cemetries and the war museum in Bayeux.... even the kids were quiet and listened to what it was all about. |  |

Wouldn't be any harm to them, they've got a spare, given that they display two of the same thing from the same year to bolster their trophy cabinet... |  |

I have just heard it will take 5 years to analyse if the tapestry is fit to be moved and travel, it is highly unlikely that it will be a positive outcome and this is just pie in the sky. |  | | |

Maybe in the same spirit we could loan the Greeks the Elgin marbles permanently. |  |

That will be one in the eye for those harolding it as a bit of a coup if it doesn't happen... | |

Only the French could make a friendly gesture out of a piece of art dedicated to commemorating a time when they beat the sh1t out of the English. |  |

My mate is a Collections Manager at BM and these marbles, more than any other questioningly appropriated artifact, receives the most complaints by an extremely large margin (almost tenfold). | |

they didn't. Normandy wasn't part of France then. It was a Viking province. Normandy meant Land of the Northmen... |  |
