French President Emmanuel Macron is visiting London from August 2nd to 3rd to open a special exhibition of the Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum. ^[1] The British Museum hosted Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel for a VIP viewing of the Bayeux Tapestry on August 18. ^[2] Axios chronicles the dealings of Alejandro Betancourt with Nicolas Maduro and Washington. ^[3] The Bayeux Tapestry, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was transported from Bayeux to London under strict security measures. ^[4] The summit between Macron and Burnham will discuss strengthening EU-UK relations, military support for Ukraine, and border control. ^[5] This visit marks the first summit between Macron and UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham since Burnham took office in July. ^[6] The British Museum launched the 'Bayeux Around Britain' programme, a nationwide initiative designed to bring the story of the Bayeux Tapestry to communities across the UK. ^[7] France loaned the embroidery, insured for 960 billion euros ($1.1 billion), for a 10-month exhibition that opens to the public on Sept. 10. ^[8] The tapestry was spirited from Bayeux in northwest France to London by road and rail in a clandestine high-security operation in July, the first time since the 11th century that it has touched British soil. ^[9] The two leaders and their spouses will join King Charles III and Queen Camilla for a private viewing of the 230-foot (70-meter) tapestry, a 1,000-year-old symbol of Anglo-French relations that depicts the Norman conquest of England in 1066. ^[10] Museum staff expressed concern that Thiel's private viewing potentially limited public access to the historic weaving. ^[11] The British Museum must limit both the amount and intensity of light exposure on the tapestry to prevent damage. ^[12]
