DRAC and Château d’Angers have undertaken a major scientific and technical conservation operation this year to enable a report on the Apocalypse tapestry’s current condition to be drawn up. Work is set to continue up until the end of 2016. Following a photographic campaign in late May, this autumn will be seeing four sections of the tapestry taken down and their linings removed to enable examination of their reverse sides.
Commissioned by Louis I, Duke of Anjou, in 1373 and gifted to Angers Cathedral by King René a hundred years later, the Apocalypse tapestry is a medieval masterpiece of national heritage. It is the oldest and longest medieval tapestry still in existence.
