Hi Kim
The Vatican Museum has lots of very interesting things, from memory
there were some vestments on display but where I can't remember (was
there in 1999 and again in 2003). Many of the murals and paintings
feature lace. The catch with the museum is that you should spend the day
there, there are a huge number of tour groups going through and it is
really hard to see things when you are pushed along by a sea of
humanity. I ducked into the side rooms when things got too crowded. Also
the cafe there does not charge huge prices for a basic sandwich and tea.
If you want a break from the hustle and bustle of Rome a walk through
the Vatican gardens is lovely BUT you need to book in advance.
I remember seeing Lace in both Milan and in Florence, both in museums
attached to churches I'll need to check back to my travel notes. If you
want these please let me know.

I am wondering if anyone out there has ever toured the Vatican and
seen their laces? I would be especially interested if you saw any
metal or metallic lace. If you think you have info that would not be
interesting to the group or would like to contact me directly, I can
be reached at k...@wirelace.net
Thanks, Kim
