Yeah!! It's a really great museum, and unlike the Met proper you can actually get through the whole thing in a single visit, even if you're like me and go verrrrry slowwwwly through museums
It's so meta--the exhibit said the cards are in such good condition it's likely they weren't played with, and were merely collector's items. And then they made their reproductions LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to use, I love it
Yessss, a book on medieval fashion, one about other luxury playing cards (i don't have a problem) and a reprint of a book of maps depicting cities of the world first published in the 1600s *u*
