The museum houses the Bayeux Tapestry, an embroidered cloth nearly 230 feet long and more than 900 years old.
"Celebrating the conquest of England by William, Duke of Normandy, this linen canvas was embroidered after the Battle of Hastings (which took place October 14, 1066), probably in a monastery in the south of England," according to the museum web site.
