Lace Museum

A nice small museum that feels quiet and peaceful. The exhibition is not large, but it is presented in an interesting and clear way, so it’s easy to walk through and learn something new. The atmosphere is calm, the space is clean, and the staff is polite. It’s a good place for a short visit if you want something simple, quiet, and informative.

It's a very small museum but you'll find some incredible lace works. The video on the ground floor before you go up to see the works is quite long but worth watching. Spacious locker room is available for you to store your belongings for comfortable time in the museum

The Lace museum was nice, very good history and exhibitions about the Lace School. It is easy and affordable, short visit but a must to in Venice.

Located in the Palazzo del Podestà of Torcello, the museum opened in 1981 and houses around 200 pieces of lacework dating from the 16th to the 20th century. It highlights the craftsmanship and artistic tradition of lace-making in Venice and its surrounding lagoon islands, particularly Burano, which is famed for its delicate lace. The museum is situated in the same building where the Burano Lace School operated from 1872 to 1970, training generations of artisans in this intricate craft. After extensive renovations, the museum was reopened in 2011 with updated exhibition spaces and a renewed focus on preserving and showcasing this unique element of Venetian cultural heritage. ※ Included in the Venice Museum Pass.

This small museum illustrates the history of lace-making in Burano and features exhibitions of beautiful, intricate lacework. It’s included in the Venice Museum Pass and is a recommended stop if you're visiting the island. Visiting Burano itself is also highly recommended — it's like a smaller, more picturesque version of Venice, with far fewer crowds but all the charm.

Not expensive, but not much to see. Beautiful work. If you are not a lace lover you may spend 10 to 15 minutes inside.

A small but moderately interesting museum. The collection is good, the presentation of the lace pieces is very well done, and the museum provides a decent walkthrough of the history of lace making in Venice, but the techniques used aren't explained very well, and a gender history perspective, i.e, more information on why lace making was always women's domain, would have added to the experience.

It was an interesting experience, the lace has so many details and models, we liked the items that we saw. It's interesting to see a short movie about how the process works, how they start to create de models and how the final result looks.
