For directions, hours and more information, contact the museum at 408-971-0323. Visitors at a previous site shared their responses to Surrounded by Family and Friends in a community comment book: "The use of fabric adds another level of emotion for me. There is a realness or everyday quality to cloth that softens or exposes the heart. I don't know another medium that could do the same." ....C.D., Marlboro, VT "Powerful, emotional, depressing and uplifting at the same time." ...H., Colrain, MA "How fortunate that artists help us take a closer and concentrated look at the events around us. To look at death so lovingly is the evolution." ...P.W., Brattleboro, VT In October of 2002, Surrounded by Family and Friends will be presented at the 14th International Congress on Care of the Terminally Ill in Montreal, Canada. Surrounded by Family and Friends was created during fellowship grant from the Project on Death in America of the Open Society Institute.
