\n\tThe upcoming presentation of the Bayeux Tapestry, a 230-foot-long embroidered cloth depicting the Norman invasion of 1066, figures to be the blockbuster exhibition of the year for the British Museum. The institution is pricing tickets like it is.<\/p>\n
\n\tOn Thursday, the museum said that tickets to see the tapestry, which goes on view September 10 through July 11, 2027, will cost \u00a333 for a standard adult ticket, or about $45. That\u2019s the high end, for \u201cpeak\u201d times. During off-peak times, i.e. non-holiday, non summer weekdays until 5:10 p.m., an adult ticket will cost \u00a327. Tickets for Students and disabled visitors are a flat \u00a325. All tickets get you a 40-minute visit with the tapestry.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe first two weeks of the exhibition and the last two weeks of the exhibition will be treated as \u201cpeak\u201d tickets no matter the timing. <\/p>\n
\n\tIf that wasn\u2019t all confusing enough, the British Museum said it is also offering \u201csuper off-peak\u201d tickets for \u00a325, available for the last time slot of each weekday, i.e. 3:30 p. m. to 4:20 p.m. Members get tickets for free, but still must book a time slot, with each member getting only two free visits to the tapestry during the exhibition\u2019s entire run.<\/p>\n
\n\tAs the Art Newspaper<\/em> noted, the price of the ticket is just a little bit more expensive the museum\u2019s usual temporary exhibitions, which have recently ranged from \u00a318 to \u00a325.<\/p>\n \n\tThe museum is no doubt expecting a lot of interest, as the show will mark the first time the tapestry has visited the UK in over 900 years. The tapestry is a loan from France, the result of an agreement reached last July between the two countries. The UK will send objects from the Sutton Hoo ship burial and the 12th-century Lewis chess pieces to institutions in Normandy, France.<\/p>\n \n\tThe Bayeux Tapestry features 58 scenes and 626 characters to tell the story of the Norman Conquest of England and the Battle of Hastings, and is ocnsidered one of the greatest Romanesque artworks.<\/p>\n \n\tThe museum is pulling out all the stops for its historic presentation. Earlier this week, it announced that it will host \u201cTapestry of Trees,\u201d an outdoor installation by garden designer Andy Sturgeon that is meant to evoke a medieval woodland, composed of plants and trees found in the subject of the tapestry. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/news\/bayeux-tapestry-tickets-pricing-1234786836\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-1167776220.jpg?w=1024″] The upcoming presentation of the Bayeux Tapestry, a 230-foot-long embroidered cloth depicting the Norman invasion of 1066, figures to be the blockbuster exhibition of the year for the British Museum.
