"Housed in a building that once housed the island's lacemaking school, Museo del Merletto offers an intimate, up-close look at the history of Burano's most famous craft. The collection, arranged chronologically, starts from the origins of lace in the 16th century and continues through the present today, with glamorous Renaissance examples laid out for careful inspection in tiered cases. The space is relatively quiet, save for some slow moving tour groups during the high season in summer and the lace tends to bring those with an air of pensive curiosity." - Jenna Scatena
