The tapestry consists of some fifty scenes with Latin tituli, embroidered on linen with coloured woollen yarns. It is likely that it was commissioned by Bishop Odo, William 's half - brother, and made in England -- not Bayeux -- in the 1070s. In 1729 the hanging was rediscovered by scholars at a time when it was being displayed annually in Bayeux Cathedral. The tapestry is now exhibited at the Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeux in Bayeux, Normandy, France (49 ° 16 ′ 28 '' N 0 ° 42 ′ 01 '' W ﻿ / ﻿ 49.2744 ° N 0.7003 ° W ﻿ / 49.2744; - 0.7003).
