I have two lesser-known favorite museums in London, neither of them have textile stuff but they're still quite fun:
1) The Geffrye Museum (http://www.geffrye-museum.org.uk/) which is a museum of interiors -- it's got a room decorated in the style from the reign of each major monarch starting at about 1600 (I can't remember if it includes Elizabeth I or not...). The museum itself is in the suburbs of London. 2) Sir John Soane's Museum (http://www.soane.org/) which is the house of a regency architect (quite lovely) and includes his painting collection (which has the complete Rake's Progress by Hogarth in oils!) and his Egyptian mummy! Hope that helps, -sunny _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
