You are talking about the Luton Museum Art Gallery, which is in Wardown
Park. I was born and brought up there but didn't actually know about the
lace in the museum until a few years ago:-) I have visited a few times
since, took my Mum last year too. They do have a fantastic

To add to my earlier posting about Bedford Luton museums, another
