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. The institution is pricing tickets like it is.
On Thursday, the museum said that tickets to see the tapestry, which goes on view September 10 through July 11, 2027, will cost £33 for a standard adult ticket, or about $45. That’s the high end, for “peak” times. During off-peak times, i.e. non-holiday, non summer weekdays until 5:10 p.m., an adult ticket will cost £27. Tickets for Students and disabled visitors are a flat £25. All tickets get you a 40-minute visit with the tapestry.
