of the world’s most respected quilt experts. Dinner begins at 7:30pm.Public exhibit admission and curatorial tours will be available at the museum Wednesday through Sunday March 14-18, during the week that American Quilter’s Society hosts its
annual show at the Lancaster County Convention Center—just one block away. LANCASTER QUILT & TEXTILE MUSEUM exhibit hours will be 9am to 7pm Wednesday through Saturday, and Noon to 5pm on Sunday. An eclectic array of live music will
highlight the museum’s exhibit experience during evenings and Sunday afternoon. Thursday evening admission also includes a reception with Lancaster County’s Bed & Breakfast community.
