Treasury Backs Bayeux Tapestry's £800M UK Loan: A Cultural Risk?
The UK Treasury will provide indemnity insurance, estimated at £800m, for the Bayeux Tapestry during its loan to the British Museum, covering potential damage during transit, storage, and display. This government-backed scheme avoids substantial commercial insurance costs, though concerns remain regarding the tapestry's fragility and suitability for transport despite French officials' assurances.
