The Game of Thrones tapestry is now complete

Two years ago, we got our first look at the Game of Thrones tapestry, a gorgeous hand-made tapestry telling the complete story of the show. Now that season 8 has come to an end, and with it the whole series, the final panels have been added to the tapestry and it, too, is now done.

According to a press release issued on behalf of National Museums NI, the “finishing touches” have now been made. You can check out some of the season 8 panels, which were added earlier this month, here.

The tapestry is now 90 meters long, which is nearly 300 feet for us Americans. Here are three of the stitcher — Joanne Pollock, Anne Robinson and Christine Andrews — all working away on it:

“When we first started we knew we were working on something special, but little did we know just how far the story of the tapestry would travel,” said Robinson. “Game of Thrones has attracted so many international visitors to our shores, and many of those people have also come to see the tapestry on display in the Ulster Museum. Now, as its run comes to an end this weekend, we’re preparing for it to be displayed in Bayeux alongside the tapestry that influenced it.”

Bayeux, you say? The Bayeux Tapestry, displayed in France, is almost 70 meters (about 230 feet) long and dates back to probably the 11th century. Famously, it tells the story of the conquest of England by William Normandy, although apparently it isn’t finished.

The completed Game of Thrones tapestry will go up to Bayeux in September, and the two will be displayed together.

The Game of Thrones tapestry is perhaps a touch more ornate and compact, but you can see that there’s text on it as well:

But even in tapestry form, the iconic moments come through. Check out Tormund Giantsbane’s righteous beard and the weirwood’s bright red leaves below.

For now, though, if you’re going to Belfast, you have a few more days to see the Game of Thrones tapestry in the Ulster Museum; it’ll be there until July 28.
