This year's loan exhibition, In Celebration: Needlework Treasures commemorates the 125th anniversary of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The exhibit features American and European needlework from the costume and textile collection including fine examples of embroidery, quilts and costumes. The Show also provides a creative and educational forum for visitors with a varied assortment of show tours and related special events.

Guides will escort small groups through the 2001 Loan Exhibit and Show's Exhibitors' booths, highlighting notable objects on display.
