And like you said, in a book or any other presentation pretty much of the tapestry series,

You don't notice that in quite the same sort of way as when you kind of walk along the tapestry and you see how these scenes work together.

Sometimes they're reversed and sometimes they're in a chronological order.

But yeah, I think it makes you appreciate the bare tapestry in a slightly different way than normal tapestry.

Yeah, I think it does make you interpret different scenes slightly differently.

I think the other thing that people might be used to seeing if they just look at books is just certain depictions from the Bayeux Tapestry.

I think people will be surprised, for example, to see this extended sequence where William takes Harold into Brittany and fights on that campaign.

I think a lot of people will think...

I never knew that there was this kind of little kind of detour into Brittany that's in the Bay of Tapestry.

And there's other things like that as well that are probably less well known.

And I think that's where our kind of prompting at the back will help people get an overview of the tapestry story in a way that probably is not common if you've not seen the tapestry before.

referring to this,

Well, most of them are for horses, so I don't think they're going to be that shocked, to be honest.

Yeah.

But if you're really sensitive to that, you might have to avert your eyes at certain moments.

Yeah, so should I start from the beginning a little bit?

So obviously you're in the busy streets of London and we've kind of created a sort of airlock space.

So...

The Sainsbury's exhibition gallery has this kind of foyer that normally we take people's kind of tickets or check the tickets.

That's going to be part of the exhibition.
