A tapestry Bayeux, which documents the Norman invasion of England in 1066, will be closed to the public in France on Monday when the opposition is ahead of London.
The next time a nearly 1000-year work of art will be discovered in September next year when it is shown at the British Museum.
However, the French world of art strongly opposes this project, and experts are afraid of a masterpiece of 70 m (230 feet), which is too fragile to transport all over the channel.
French President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced the loan when they met in London in July.
In the last few weeks, there has been a great increase in visitors at the battles museum before closing on September 1.
A new display area is being built for the tapestry, which will take at least two years.
Closing – Long planned is what gave macron the opportunity to fulfill its act of cultural diplomacy by committing France By borrowing a tapestry to the British Museum For the year from next September.
But this promise caused resonance from many in the French art world.
The petition – describing the loan as a cultural crime – attracted 60,000 signatures.
The fact that many opponents are indignant primarily is a high way they feel that Macron has decided to make their gesture in the UK, rethinking the advice of specialists who say that vibrations are inevitable in a long road can cause irreparable damage.
On August 22, the French official, who supervised the loan, defended the move, saying that the artifact was not too delicate for transportation.
Philip Beloval said it had not yet been decided on how the tapestry was transported, but emphasized the study earlier this year, which contained detailed recommendations for the treatment and transportation.
“This study does not say that this tapestry is not reserved,” Belawal said, quoting AFP. He did not reveal the authors of the study or their conclusions.
Cecil Banet, adviser to the regional museum in Normandy, said in February on YouTube this February that moving to the Gabeline long distances would be a “risk to preservation”, adding that it is “too weak.”
Huge embroidery – which is supposed to be created in Kenta – will be displayed in London next fall to July 2027.
In return, treasures, including artifacts from the Anglo-Saxon burials in Saton Hu, and the 12th century chess works will go to the Museum in Normandy.
A Tapestry bayeuxRising up to the 11th century reflects the challenged time in the Anglo-French relations, since the dominance of the Anglo-Saxons was replaced by the Norman rule.
Although the final part of the embroidery is missing, it ends with Anglo -Saxons, which run away at the end of the Battle of Holtings in 1066.
Its 58 scenes, 626 characters and 202 horses give a unique accounting of the medieval period in Normandy and England, revealing not only information about military traditions but also valuable details of everyday life.
