Hello Helen, Yes the Cecil Higgins reopened in 2013. Here's the website http://www.thehigginsbedford.org.uk/default.aspx?page=0.
There is one small display in the upper gallery. The middle picture on their "about us - redevelopment" page gives you an idea of the display pods. Gone are the old study chests of drawers. Instead they have run an odd talk/ study session featuring lace from the store - I was lucky enough to catch one a year or so back, I can't see anything currently planned. Lace is classified as part of Social History and the curator is Lydia Saul. She has learned to make lace with Aragorn Lacemakers, who meet and demonstrate at the museum quite frequently.
