5) WHY VISIT THE BURANI LACE MUSEUM
The Lace Museum, part of the Venetian Civic Museums circuit, presents a journey to discover Burano’s lace art: history, techniques, precious pieces made between the 16th and 20th centuries and artifacts belonging to the collection of the Burano Scuola dei Merletti...
After an introductory room on the ground floor, with an evocative film and some didactic panels, the exhibition displays continue on the first floor in four thematic rooms, where more than two hundred specimens are exhibited that illustrate the evolution of the art of lace in Venice over the centuries.
You will admire the grace and intricacy of needlepoint embroidery, a unique skill of the Burano lace makers, and you will discover the different manufacturing techniques such as punto rosa or punto Burano. You will see how, starting from the first geometric style decorations, the technique was perfected and evolved over time, following the fashion trends and gradually introducing plant, floral and animal motifs, until it reached its highest expression in the seventeenth century, considered the golden century of lace making.
What’s more, if you visit the Lace Museum in the morning you will have the privilege of seeing the master lace makers at work, the custodians of this art handed down through the generations.
