London Pub Marks Bayeux Tapestry Loan With Its Own 'Beer Tapestry'
As the 11th century Bayeux Tapestry goes on display at the British Museum, a nearby pub has created a beer-themed tribute to mark the occasion, according to France 24.
The Bayeux Tapestry, an 11th century embroidered work depicting the Norman conquest of England, is going on display at the British Museum in London this week, according to France 24. The exhibition marks the first time the tapestry will be viewable on British soil.
The loan of the historic artifact has inspired a local response from a pub located across the street from the museum, France 24 reported. The pub has created its own version of the tapestry, dubbed the "Beer Tapestry," which is available for visitors to view while they enjoy refreshments.
According to France 24, the copycat tapestry offers a lighthearted complement to the museum exhibition, giving visitors an additional attraction to explore in the area surrounding the British Museum during the tapestry's display period.
Details on the specific imagery or creators of the pub's tapestry, as well as the exact duration of the Bayeux Tapestry's loan, were not specified in the available reporting.
