[SCA-BMDL] Fiber guild frick tapestries field trip in 7/12

[Dina Ternullo]

This month the BMDL fiber guild is going on a field trip! On Friday July 12 at 7 pm we're going to meet at the Frick museum in Pittsburgh (not the NYC one) to look at and geek about their four early sixteenth century French and Flemish tapestries, and then look at some medieval paintings and artifacts in their collection.

The admission to the rotunda with the tapestries and the general collection is free. 

No flash photography or flashlights allowed. Non flash photography and magnifying glasses are ok. No touching of the tapestries allowed. 

Parking is free in the museum parking lot and adjacent streets. It is one of their summer Fridays festivals so parking in the lot may be tight. On the plus side, there will be food trucks and a free concert (please see their webpage for more info. https://www.thefrickpittsburgh.org/calendar)

The tapestries are amazing, and even if you're not a weaving geek, you can still learn a lot about garb, jewelry, mythology interpretations, and flora of the time. 

I have reached to the museum curator for additional information on the tapestries and will post it separately later.

Please RSVP- if we have a larger group I will have to give them a heads up. 

Hope to see you all there!
