Fdesouche.com reported that Lloyd de Beer, the curator in charge of the Bayeux tapestry exhibition at the British Museum, stated Thursday at the Cheltenham Literature Festival that the work would no longer be displayed vertically in Bayeux. Transferred to London for this year's exhibition, it was presented flat in a display case there. According to de Beer, it will now be exhibited flat or inclined, depending on conservation requirements, and the public will probably not see it hanging again during their lifetime. https://t.co/YkJb7DFt6A #TapisserieDeBayeux #Conservation #BritishMuseum (translated)

Some very good news for your Friday: 15 critically endangered frogs have hatched at London Zoo for the first time in captivity. A hopeful milestone for a critically endangered species and a reminder of what conservation can achieve. A tiny leap for frogs, a giant leap for conservation.

Jon De Lorraine indicated that a curator from the British Museum, where the Bayeux tapestry was located at that time, had estimated that it had become too fragile to remain hung vertically. He specified that the work, nearly 1,000 years old and 70 meters long, had been loaned to the United Kingdom as part of an agreement made by Emmanuel Macron. According to him, upon its return to France in 2027, it should be displayed on an inclined support to better preserve it. #Patrimoine #TapisserieDeBayeux #Conservation (translated)

Our buildings and landscapes tell the stories of those who came before us. Some are buried in oblivion, others are part of the collective memory. By telling them, we bring the stories of yesterday and today to life. We want to keep the history of Flanders alive and continue, all together, to write it. The preservation of Flemish artistic heritage is the responsibility of all. Regional authorities cannot bear this responsibility alone. #Flandre #Patrimoine #Culture (translated)
