Answer
When a bar magnet is suspended freely by a thread, it will align itself with the Earth's magnetic field.
Specifically, the north pole of the bar magnet will point approximately towards the Earth's geographic North Pole, and its south pole will point approximately towards the Earth's geographic South Pole. This is the principle behind how a compass works.
