I was very bummed not to be allowed to take photographs at the exhibit. So here are some of the Museum's own photos.

| The Medici Room |
 |
| The Fortuny Tent one of our favorite rooms |
 |
| Marie Claire de Cloy and child, after a painting by Van Dyck |
 |
| Detail on Elizabeth I's court dress |
 |
| Isabelle de Borchgrave's atelier working on Eleanor of Toledo's gown |
Everything you see is made of paper. (Even the mannequins were papier mache, it seems.) We were amazed at how she created "lace" using lens paper for a thin, filmy effect.
If you're in San Francisco, this is a must-see!
All photos from the Palace of the Legion of Honor website.
