Yes, I believe they have some contemporary pieces in their collection. Last year they had a temporary exhibit "Bobbins, Bows & Beads" that was small but heavenly! Several pieces of lace and embroidery were on display. I was given permission to take photos. I put some snippets together for our newsletter. I have figured out how to upload it to Flicker. I'm not sure if this is a direct link or not https://www.flickr.com/photos/lacemaker/11969017156/in/set-72157639807500354/ lightbox/
The second photo from the left on the top row shows a portion of an apron made with fish scales! It also had some lovely point ground lace on it too. I have found it very interesting the Czech & Slovak people used both tape laces and point ground laces in their costumes!
