Dear Meghann, Having sent you to Laurie's site, I am surprised to see that she didn't include the Museum of Costume and Lace in Brussels.
http://www.brusselsmuseums.be/en/museum/76-museum-of-costume-&-lace-museums- of-the-city-of-brussels The Kantcentrum in Bruges used to have a display. I am not sure what is going on there since it changed hands. The flax museum in Kortrijk near Bruges is very good. There was a small museum over the Rococo lace shop in Bruges. There are occasional lace making demos outside lace shops. Of the Italian museums I recommend the one on Burano, recently redone, if you see no other. Sometimes there is a lace demo there. The Palazzo Davanzati in Florence has only just redone its lace room and is very good. I always like the Poldi Pezzoli in Milan. The lace is entirely in an unprepossessing metal storage/display thing in an unvisited hallway, but once you find it you can pull out the drawers, and leaf through the upright framed display items to your heart's content. You may have to ask where it is. Devon - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here. For help, write to arachne.modera...@gmail.com.
