Join us for the February Winter Lecture to explore the Bayeux Tapestry and question why the Brits are so crazy about this medieval masterpiece?
Bayeux-mania has taken Britain by storm with the loan of the Bayeux Tapestry to the British Museum. Michael Lewis and Dave Musgrove will give an introduction to this wonder of the medieval world and attempt to answer why the embroidery fascinates British people so much.
Michael Lewis is Curator, Bayeux Tapestry exhibition, at the British Museum. David Musgrove is Content Director of History Extra magazine. Together they have written the best-selling book, The Story of the Bayeux Tapestry, publisher Thames & Hudson (republished and updated 2026).
