The 11th-century artefact, currently on loan for an exhibition in London, arrived without showing any signs of distress. A spokesperson for the French culture ministry confirmed to AFP that the tapestry successfully completed its relocation from France.
This marks the first time in more than nine centuries that the historic textile has left its home country. The exhibition organisers have maintained strict protocols to ensure the safety of the delicate tapestry during its transit and subsequent display in the United Kingdom.
