A 224-foot-long replica of the Bayeux Tapestry acquired by the University of North Georgia in 2014 will be on display Oct. 10-17 at the Northeast Georgia History Center in Gainesville. Created in the 1070s, the original, embroidered Bayeux Tapestry is considered a masterpiece of medieval art that depicts historic events leading up to the Norman conquest of England. The replica at UNG was commissioned in the 1980s by Dr. E. D. Wheeler, a retired judge and former dean at Oglethorpe University, and was hand-painted in acrylic on linen by artist Margaret ReVille.
