It costs around $12 to see it in France. It will cost around $44 (£33) to see it in London. What an extraordinary piece of history. It is mind blowing the decent shape it is in being 1000 years old.
There are thought to be no Muslims portrayed in this wonderful work of art.
What happens if the British wont give it back????

The biggest surprise to me is after the passage of so much time, one can still see any coloration at all.
The primaries remain vivid enough to discern from mere tonalities. Maybe it has been touched up here and there, but I didn’t see it during my skim of the very long narration.

“Bayeux” is the description,
not Harry Belafonte’s pronounciation.
