Do I understand then, that the lace belongs to private individuals  
unassociated with the museum, not the Bowes family?
 
The 1908 article in an American newspaper may be about the acquisition of  
the collection by the Metropolitan Museum. It was in 1908 that a group of lace  
lovers and museum supporters raised $10,000 to buy the collection for the  
museum.
 
I would really appreciate it if someone were to keep me informed about the  
visit.
