Watch: Is the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition worth the hype?
The BBC investigates whether the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition provides sufficient value for its ticket price. The report includes visitor feedback on the experience of viewing the historic 1,000-year-old embroidery.
Why it matters
It highlights the ongoing debate regarding the commercialization and accessibility of major cultural heritage sites.
The Bayeux Tapestry is an embroidery almost 70m (230ft) in length and nearly 1,000 years old. It tells the story of the Norman conquest of England and the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
Adult tickets to see the tapestry are priced at £33 during peak times and £27 at off-peak times, with an additional £3.50 donation.
The BBC's Katie Razzall asked the first visitors if it was worth the price.
