If you have time and the inclination to visit Goethe's house in Frankfurt there is a lace pillow in it with a piece in progress - and that's the only lace I found in Frankfurt. There is an exhibition in Kiln until 17 May: http://www.wechselausstellungen.de/koeln/netzwerke-kunst-auf-der-spitze/ Networks - art at its peak (peak is a pun as the German word for lace is the same as for the peak of a mountain) The museum website (English version): http://www.museenkoeln.de/english/default.asp?s=255&tid=126&kontrast=&schrift= Exhibitions at the museum, including a paragraph about the lace exhibition: http://www.museenkoeln.de/english/default.asp?s=262&tid=132&kontrast=&schrift= Regards Steph in Berlin -- Money can't buy everything. That's what credit cards are for.
