Visite commentée : La tapisserie de l'Apocalypse

Created during the Hundred Years’ War, this monumental textile work, commissioned by Duke Louis I of Anjou, is an exceptional example of the art of lis-woven tapestry. Knights, Gothic architecture, animals, plants, furniture, cities… The Apocalypse of Angers is not limited to illustrating the last book of the Bible. It also serves as a vivid testament to the 14th century, reflecting the power of a duke with international ambitions. Practical information: For ages 14 and up.
