Our group was recently asked to put a lace display in our local museum. Turned out they kept the display for two months. That was a pain because half my equipment was there..like bobbin winder etc. Anyway, I have a warning for those of you who do this sort of thing. Check out the museum thoroughly. I thought my lace would be quite safe since everything was in glass cases. This turned out not to be true. When it was hot the museum had their doors opened, when it was cold they closed them. Overnight or when the museum wasn't open, there was no heat. Well, the climate change in the museum was extreme enough that in one display case things got so damp that the dye from a blue cardboard jewlery box ran and spread through two layers of my antique tablecloth. The cloth is now permanently stained. In addition to this there was also mould growing in the case..not much, but it was there when you really looked. Needless to say, I'll be much more careful before putting lace out again..if I ever do. Sharon on very soggy Vancouver Island
