I'm sorry you were disappointed in your visit. I think a visit there is worth it just for te stained glass windows alone.

Sorry u were disappointed by your experience. I have been to Paducah & the museum several times, always a great experience. I think that quilters have so many different viewpoints and though each of us may like some better than others all are expressions of our experiences and souls.

I have never been lucky enough to be able to go to the Paducah museum but its on my bucket list. I did however get a chance to go to the one in Golden, CO . My brother took me to Kansas to see my granddaughter who I had never been able to meet. We also went to see a sister I hadn't seen since she was a young child, in Denver. On the way back we passed Golden and I asked him if we could stop. He was "Sure"! . The exhibit was one all quilts made by men. My brother was amazed at the detail and he learned something new.
I am sorry you were disappointed on your visit. I am hoping one day to get to the Smithsonian, to see their exhibits of quilts. |

Often you can go online to see what exhibit is on display and read some information about it and maybe see a picture or two. With other museums I normally check to see what they have going on before spending time and money. That said many do have small section that has a permanent display. I think I would also be dissapointed not to see some historical quilts. It might be good feed back to give the museum.

Sometimes when your writing a comment it comes out all wrong.

I've never been to Paducah so really appreciate the comments on this thread. I do hope to go someday and will definitely check their website so I'll know when they show the quilts I'm most interested in.
