According to artistic way of thinking, art is the perfect media for leaving an event in the world. The best examples are pictures and paintings, sculptures and big carved stones and of course and why not a tapestry.

This piece in particular is absolutely awesome, I bet that  in the museum is better but... searching and reading about it you can only think that the work in it is awesome.

Handmade of course, years and tons of wool and colors, also centuries is what this piece represents.

It is the 1066 Battle of Hastings story what is told in here. I like it a lot because of the details, colors, images, and the most important part the historical event and its narration. Images can say lots more than words.

I have found a video where you can see in detail with a well done animation some details. It is a 4 min and something long video from you tube.
