The Victoria and Albert in London has tent stitch, and a wide variety of
other types in their collection.  There are pieces on open display, but
also a room with many pieces behind glass.  Pick out what you want to look
at, carry it to a special table and drool!  

Take a camera and some way to stabilize it for taking pictures in ordinary
room light (like a bag of rice that you can set on the tops of 2 chairs
pushed back to back, and set the camera on that).
