So we have to be sure that people can travel through this exhibition in a timely way.
And like I said before,
we can't have it that people are there for hours and hours and hours because that will stop other people having that opportunity.
So we're having to try and be fair to as many people as possible to give what we think is a reasonable time to see the Bayeux Tapestry, understand the story.
And of course, in the future, hopefully people will be inspired to go to Bayeux and see the tapestry there.
I mean, what we're expecting is that people will travel through the experience, as it's sometimes called, in about 40 minutes.
Now, it's not like there's people with whips and pulling people along and all that sort of stuff.
The idea is that the exhibition will enable that way through the tapestry story and the other aspects of the exhibition as well, which obviously we haven't talked about.
No, I mean, I think what we're trying to do is, you know, the British are pretty good at queuing.
And, you know, I guess in a queue, if people don't move on or, you know, they're not kind of, I suppose, courteous to their fellow queuers, then, you know, that scene is not quite right.
Yes, we understand that people might linger at one scene more than another.
That's inevitably going to happen.
And some people will probably stay in the space longer than others, like is the case in France.
But yeah, we're not wanting to be heavy about this, but we want people to understand that this is a communal experience in
way, and that people have to be fair to their fellow museum visitors.
Yeah, I think that's really crucial because obviously the tapestry is divided in these scenes.
People will notice these scene numbers that have been added to the tapestry probably in the 19th century, the beginning of the 19th century.
Yeah, and for the last two during the Second World War period.
They do, to a degree, follow what the text says in the tapestry, but there is a clear relationship between the text and images, but it might not always completely follow.
And I think it is really important that people understand that whilst the scenes are divided, there is a linking between those narrative sequences as well.
