The tapestry - actually an embroidered cloth, not a true tapestry - has been in Bayeux, France, since at least 1476 when it appeared in an inventory of the cathedral's property. So far as anyone knows it has always been in Bayeux. It currently is in a special museum in Bayeux.
The Bayeux Tapestry is preserved and displayed in Bayeux, in Normandy, France. Nothing is known for certain about the tapestry's origins. The first written record of the Bayeux Tapestry is in 1476 when it was recorded in the cathedral treasury at Bayeux as "a very long and narrow hanging on which are embroidered figures and inscriptions comprising a representation of the conquest of England". The Bayeux Tapestry was probably commissioned in the 1070s by Bishop Odo of Bayeux, half-brother of William the Conqueror. It is over 70 metres long and although it is called a tapestry it is in fact an embroidery, stitched not woven in woollen yarns on linen. Some historians argue that it was embroidered in Kent, England. The original tapestry is on display at Bayeux in Normandy, France. So it seems the jury's out on that one.
The original can be seen in the Bayeux Tapestry museum in the French town of Bayeux.
