Prime Minister Kir Stmper and French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to officially announce the deal at Windsor Castle on Tuesday evening.
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandi called the loan “a symbol of our shared history with our friends in France, a relationship for centuries and one that continues to bear”.
The Bayeux Tapestry will be displayed from September 2026 to July 2027, while its current house, Bayeux Museum is being renewed. The 1000th anniversary of William’s birth is also in 2027.

Director of the British Museum, Nicholas Kulinen said: “This is the absolutely same international partnership that I want we champions and participate in: to share our collection as widely as possible – and in return in return it was never seen before.”
The Eagle-Idered Watches of the British Museum can see this latest announcement as a template offering to discuss the future of Parthenon sculptures with the Greek government.
The Parthenon Project, a group that advocates for the return of classical marble sculptures to Greece, suggested what they say a “win-win” solution, from which it was never seen before that items from Greece were brought to the British Museum in exchange for the Parthenon works.
Today’s focus is close to the house and is an exhibition that the British Museum hopes that it will be one of the most popular, once a generation show.
Each British school children learn about King Herold, William the Concormer and 1066.
As Osborne said: “There is no other single item in British history that is so familiar, so studied in schools, so art has been copied as a beauty tapestry in art.
“Still it has never returned to these banks in about 1,000 years.
“Next year it and many, many thousands of visitors, especially school children, will see it with their eyes.”
