I have been rereading 75 x Lace by Patricia Wardle, as I am planning a vacation to the Netherlands and hoping to visit the Rijksmuseum. I keep noticing in the footnotes that there are pieces of lace she claims are on loan to the Centraal Museum in Utrecht. The book was published in about the year 2000, so I don't know if the lace that is said to have been on loan to the museum in Utrecht would still be there, on display, or in storage. I am unable to determine from the website of the museum whether they would have any lace. Also, I had been under the impression that the Boymans-van Beunigen museum in Rotterdam has some lace, based on a book called Kant, published in 1978, and unfortunately, entirely in Dutch. But now that I am looking at the book, it appears that this was a special exhibition, so I am unsure whether there is any lace there. Any help would be appreciated. We will also be driving around the Netherlands, hitting Haarlem, Delft, the Hague, etc. so any suggestions about other places worth visiting from a lace standpoint would be appreciated. In fact, I have not contacted the Rijksmuseum yet, so information about that museum would also be of interest. The Wardle book, 75 x Lace is my only reference for now. The museum website has some lace on it, but the majority of the lace does not appear to have photography with it. Many thanks, Devon
