点评:We visited this museum not knowing what to expect. My wife is a lacemaker, wool crafter, spinner and seamstress. The lovely, elderly lady who guided us picked up on this - we settled on French as the guide language as her English was weak and our Italian worse. She turned out to be the grand-daughter of the late Marquesa and has been schooled in French as an aristocrat. The museum holds amazing linen, lace, drawn threadwork, shadow work and Flemish linen (Hollands) artifacts from her family's workshop and needlework school in Palermo in the 1920s/1930s and from her family going back generations including baby clothes, christening gowns, mourning dress and silk velour. An astounding, rare and beautiful collection. Despite the museum "closing" at 5pm, we were still there at 6.15 being shown absolutely everything. This was a highlight of out visit to Sicily!
翻译:我们参观了这个博物馆,但不知道会发生什么。我的妻子是一名花边匠、羊毛工匠、纺纱工和裁缝。引导我们的那位可爱的年长女士注意到了这一点——我们选择了法语作为导游语言,因为她的英语很弱,我们的意大利语更差。原来她是已故马克萨的孙女,并作为贵族接受过法语教育。博物馆藏有来自 1920 年代/1930 年代位于巴勒莫的家族作坊和针线学校的令人惊叹的亚麻布、蕾丝、拉线、皮影作品和佛兰芒亚麻(荷兰)文物,以及来自她家族几代人的文物,包括婴儿服装、洗礼礼服、丧服和丝绒。令人惊叹、稀有且美丽的收藏。尽管博物馆在下午 5 点“关门”,但我们在 6.15 仍然在那里,展示了一切。这是我们访问西西里岛的一大亮点!
