The tapestry is a representation of the Apocalypse of John made at the end of the 14th century. This work is the most important group of medieval tapestries remaining in the world. Its completion is dated to around 1380, or even 1382.

Originally composed of seven pieces, six of which are preserved, the whole, 104m long, is exhibited in the museum of the castle of Angers in a very long gallery built for this purpose, inaugurated in 1954. This monumental hanging for princely use was commissioned for Duke Louis I of Anjou and made in the workshops of N. Bataille, based on the cartoons of J. de Bruges. For the warp and weft, it is brightly colored wool, dyed using vegetable dyes, such as weld for the yellows, madder for the reds and pastel for the blues. It is reversible: the reverse is identical to the obverse, which testifies to the virtuosity of the weavers.

UNESCO, at its Executive Board meeting of 18 May 2023, inscribed the Apocalypse Tapestry on the Memory of the World Register.
