Dear Meghann It is my impression that the V & A no longer has lace in it. Instead it is in a study center not centrally located in London. I am unsure what kind of access there is there. You mention a lot of countries in your email, but it is unclear how long you are going to be traveling in the countries, what cities you are going to be near. and what kind of transport you will have. In reality, it would take a very long time for someone to try to write out all the museums that have something to do with lace in Belgium and Italy. Perhaps a first step would be to go to the Pinterest site maintained by Laurie Waters which has Lace Museums by country and do a little scoping out. https://www.pinterest.com/LaceNews/ Things change all the time with lace museums, exhibits come down, museums close, so it is always best to check for the most up to date information and to confirm with an email. Even when a museum has a lace collection, it is not at all unusual for none of it to be on display. Also, Laurie maintains a site: Lacenews.net where she keeps track of lace events all over the world which you might find useful. Devon
