To begin with, the Bayeux Tapestry is not really a tapestry but an embroidery. When and how was it made? On July 4, 1077, the Bayeux Tapestry was first shown at Odo's cathedral and nuns embroidered scenes of the Norman invasion and the Battle of Hastings on eight linen panels which were eventually sewn together. It is believed that it took around ten years for the Bayeux Tapestry to be completed. The entire emroidery consists of seventy-two scenes(pictures) and was probably meant to decorate the cathedral of Bayeux in Normandy, France. The entire length is two hundred and fourteen feet with a width of about twenty inches. Have a guess as to where the Bayeux Tapestry is preserved at. Correct, at Bayeux in France.
