Art historians question ‘unsuitable’ £800m Bayeux Tapestry insurance

TL;DR


Summary:
- The Bayeux Tapestry, a famous 11th-century embroidered cloth depicting the Norman conquest of England, is being moved to a new museum in France.
- Art historians are concerned that the insurance policy for the tapestry, valued at £800 million, is not adequate to cover the potential risks of the move and display.
- Experts worry that the fragile, centuries-old tapestry could be damaged during the relocation or while on exhibit, and that the insurance coverage may not be sufficient to repair or replace it if something goes wrong.
