The Lace Museum (in Italian: Museo del merletto) is located at the historic palace of Podestà of Torcello, in Galuppi square, on the island of Burano, near Venice, Italy.[1]
The palace was seat of the famous Burano Lace School from 1872 to 1970.[1]
Rare and precious pieces offer a complete overview of the history and artistry of the Venetian and lagoon's laces, from its origins to the present day are on display, in a picturesque setting decorated in the typical colors of the island.[1]
Re-opened to the public in June 2011 after extensive restoration works, the Lace Museum offers a complete overview of the laces of Venice and islands and is one of the 11 civic museums managed by the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia.
