Ahead of the Bayeux Tapestry’s highly anticipated exhibition in London this September, Professor Pohl’s lecture will outline a new interpretation of how and where this unique artefact was intended to be viewed.

Questions of when, why, and for what purpose the Bayeux Tapestry was made will be explored with fresh eyes, shining new light on this world-famous piece of cultural heritage and on the fascinating world in and for which it was created.

Professor Pohl’s lecture will be in person only, and is followed by a free drinks reception to which all attendees are invited.
