  "summary": "The almost 1,000-year-old Bayeux Tapestry will no longer be hung once it returns to France following a temporary exhibition in Britain. According to The Local France, the French culture minister announced Friday that the masterpiece will instead be displayed on a table.\n\nThe tapestry is currently on loan to the British Museum. The Art Newspaper notes that the museum in Bayeux is closed for renovation, and that the timing of the loan was influenced by individuals including Emmanuel Macron. The 70m-long embroidery tells a narrative involving Harold’s envoy to France, his subsequent duplicity, and the building of French forces leading to the invasion.",
