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.
I hope that the Met is considering adding an on-site, reasonably-priced lodging (similiar to those built by MCDonald next to hospitals); if the collection took 9 yrs to unpack, consider how long it will take to drool over each piece...
