Artist David Hockney has criticized the plan to move the Bayeux Tapestry from France to the UK, calling it “madness” due to the risk of damage during transit. The 70-meter-long embroidery, over 900 years old, is set to be displayed at the British Museum in London this September. Hockney emphasized the masterpiece’s historical significance and beauty, warning it would be jeopardized if moved. In response, British Museum director Nicholas Cullinan assured that their expert conservation team is well-equipped to handle such artifacts.
