The Bayeux Tapestry: A Story in Embroidery (webinar)

  • Rochester Community and Technical College 'Learning is ForEver' program (zoom webinar) (map)

Textiles were among the most highly-valued art forms in medieval Europe. England was an important center for making these textiles, and it is likely that teams of English women created the Bayeux Tapestry, which ranks among the most famous medieval art works. Measuring over 220 feet long, this massive textile depicts the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. We’ll learn about the embroidery’s roots in similar medieval objects, and we will investigate the questions and controversies related to its origins.
