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.

I thought the same thing, aspecially comparing it to the Declaration of Independence, where all you can say is, “Ok if that’s what you say it is.”

I would go just to see the depiction of Halley’s Comet on the tapestry.

I don't know if the coloration has been tweaked over the centuries, but photos at the Bayeux museum website make it pretty clear that there is ongoing conservation work.

I saw it around fifteen years ago, when it was displayed with the fabric hanging flat along the wall behind protective glass. It appears that new plans were drawn up to change that, so the fabric's weight will be supported by an angled surface.

I'm not sure if it is returning to its old museum building in Bayeux or a new facility built to the updated specifications - only that is remaining in that same area (it draws from the WWII Museum crowds in the vicinity).
