Dear *|FNAME|*,

As we enter the busy holiday season, take time out for a contemplative viewing of our current exhibition Threads of Power: Lace from the Textilmuseum St. Gallens. It has been recognized by Roberta Smith of The New York Times for “giving New York its first in-depth look in nearly 40 years at the history of this intricate, fragile and costly textile.” And, Laura Jacobs of the The Wall Street Journal recently wrote, “handmade lace has been called ‘white gold,’ and the BGC exhibition … shows us why.”
