I visited the Exeter Museum last year and was a bit disappointed. I was told that the lace display had been reorganised in the previous 12 months and reduced in size.
I found a small display of work in a room featuring fashion on the ground floor. That display included a video of someone working Honiton so quickly that even I, an experienced lacemaker, couldn't see what she was doing....to me, it looked like "showing off" rather than educating people how lace is made, but that is my personal opinion. Upstairs, on wall in a dark corner of the room, I found some framed samples. And that was all. I did ask the staff, so I did see all they had on display at the time. The museums in Honiton and Salisbury had much more lace on display.
