 This is the Bayeux Tapestry musuem. I don't know what most of the building is for. The queueing and ticketing area is on the bottom floor of the back part of the building. The tapestry itself in on the same floor of the wing on the right. The gift shop in underneath, at the level of the courtyard. You're not allowed to take photographs in the room where the Tapestry is but you can get remarkably close to it. In fact, it's impossible to step back from it because it's mounted behind glass on one wall of a long dark tunnel, which doubles back on itself half way along in order to fit the whole 70 metre Tapestry into the room. The museum has found a good way to keep visitors moving: everybody gets an audio guide which explains what is happening in the pictures one scene at a time so you have to keep walking slowly past the pictures to see them as they are described. Some thought has obviously gone into it because it does seem like the guides in all languages go at the same speed.
