Elaine, I am sorry if I gave the impression that the Ratti Center is not operating. You will be happy to know that we are still providing the access to our computer data base of 36.000 textiles, 5,000 of them laces, as well as to any items in the collection, 10 at a time, by appointment. When I said the laces at the Met are in a storage facility, I meant the Ratti Center. It is a storage facility and Study Center. I wonder, if we emptied the Metropolitan Museum of Art of all those other things, the Mummies, the Armor, the Oil Paintings, the Primitive Art, etc. and tried to display only the lace collection, if it would even be possible to display it all in this, the largest museum in our hemisphere.
