The Spies on tour & on the move

In my post about The Spies I looked at the Haslemere peasant industries panel c. 1900 that is in the Victoria & Albert Museum's collection.   Having recently re-visited the museum's online entry for this work I noted that there is an 'exhibition history' entry for this item which I had not seen before.

designed by Godfrey Blount

Whilst the panel is marked as 'in storage' it has been viewed across the globe: in the United States and Japan.

The V&A have been re-housing their textiles in storage.  I believe that this piece and their Luther Hooper works are now in the Clothworkers' Centre for the Study and Conservation of Textiles and Fashion which opened earlier this week (8th October 2013).  One day I hope to visit them there.
