British Museum Upgrades Services as Bayeux Tapestry Draws One Million Visitors

The British Museum is developing its visitor services after welcoming one million people to see the Bayeux Tapestry.

The celebrated tapestry arrived from Normandy, France, at the beginning of autumn. Its display has brought an unprecedented surge in visitors to the museum.

The service improvements come as the museum responds to the exceptional demand surrounding the tapestry’s arrival. Details of the changes have not been provided.

The million-visitor milestone highlights the scale of public interest in the display, with managing that influx now a priority for the museum.
