The brand new Lace Museum

The museum, which opened in 1981, enclosed rare and precious
examples of works, documenting the development of Venetian lace from the 16th
to the 20th century. The museum also houses the archives of the old School,
full of important documents and drawings.

Incorporated in 1995 into the Venetian Civic Museums, this
building today offers the chance to observe lace-makers at work, keeping up the traditions of the island. It is
also possible to consult the archives, an important source of historical and
artistic documentation, with drawings, photographs and other iconographic
testimony.

The goal of this requalification and restoration works is to
enhance and retrain the handicraft of laces.
