Yesterday, Gunnel and I and our Assistant Director at the Ratti put the  
final two pieces of lace from the last box of lace from the Textile Study Room  
into a storage location. With this act, we have finally finished unpacking all  
the 5000 pieces of lace that were packed for the move from the old Textile 
Study  Room to the new Ratti Textile Center at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 
The  unpacking has taken nine years. 
Many people over the last nine years have asked to see pieces of lace only  
to be told that they were unavailable because they were still in boxes. This 
led  to a lot of dissatisfaction when people asked to see for instance, ten  
pieces, and only five were available. This should no longer be the case! 
Hooray!
