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.
