In what city is the Bayeux Tapestry displayed?

The Bayeux Tapestry is displayed in Bayeux, Normandy, France.

The famous embroidered linen tells the story of the events leading to the Norman conquest of England, culminating in the Battle of Hastings in 1066. It is nearly 70 metres long and depicts ships, soldiers, horses, feasting and the death of Harold Godwinson. Although commonly called a tapestry, it is technically an embroidery worked on linen with coloured wool.

Its connection with Bayeux is ancient. The earliest known written reference appears in a 1476 inventory of Bayeux Cathedral treasures. The work has survived wars, political upheaval and repeated relocations, including an exhibition in Paris during Napoleon’s era. After the Second World War, it was returned to Bayeux.

Today it is exhibited at the Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeux, a museum dedicated to its preservation and interpretation. Rouen and Caen are also major Norman cities, while Paris has displayed the work temporarily, but Bayeux is its historic home and standard answer to this question.
