Davitt" Subject: Religious vestment exibition in chicago I just got back from a school trip to the Chicago Art Institute, and I was touring the textiles department, and found that the exhibition du jour is a collection of catholic clerical vestments... earliest peice is 1340, and it goes all the way up to the 17th cent. Most of it is 15th, and beyond. when brocades, velvets, and gold and rich fabrics were available... and the really neat thing is that they are not in some glass case, so you can really examine what is... but as always.. no touching! I think that they take it down in a month or so... I liked it alot. be well, Sarahj Date: Thu, 31 Oct 1996 00:37:27 -0500 From: Kirk Albrecht M311
