Napkins at Castle and Cathedral Merseburg

Today we went to the Museum for Cultural History at the episcopal palace of Merseburg. Currently there is an exhibition on table napkins, but the other parts of the museum are exciting as well. We had not as much time as one needs to see all of the castle and the cathedral. But we saw the early modern and Prussian part. I was happy to see lots of needlework and other crafts exhibited. I took some photos, though I'm not sure, if it was allowed. Anyway, there were tatting tools as well as lace bobbins etc etc... See for yourself! One very interesting piece was a 'hair-work' made of real hair, wire and paper from the 19th century! A must-have was the guilded needlework-case featuring a mirrow and tiny boxes and all!
