• Bayeux on the Balcony
    © Bayeux Museum

For the first time, see the immense scale of the Bayeux Tapestry in Scotland as a full-size print is unrolled across the length and breadth of Dovecot’s Balcony Gallery. Celebrating the historic loan of the Bayeux to the UK, the display focuses on its legacy to contemporary artists, designers and makers. Expert interpretation from the British Museum is combined with unique insights from Dovecot’s world class weavers and community embroiderers comparing approaches to medieval textile storytelling and modern fine art tapestry.
