MAK Vienna: the lace collection of Bertha Pappenheim

"Spitze und so weiter..." - Lace and so on...
Until the 16th of March 2008, the Museum for Applied Arts (MAK) in Vienna will be displaying pieces of Bertha Pappenheim's valuable collection of very exclusive antique lace, mostly bobbin lace.
Unfortunately the exhibition shows nothing about the craft of lace-making and -designing, it only tells us a bot about the collector's character (one of S. Freud's first patients and pioneer of the jewish women's movement)... which is interesting too.
Somewhat unlovingly displayed and explained... nevertheless, the exhibits are beautiful and impressive.
MAK has free entry on Saturdays.
