Museum of Burano : In the museum you'll find examples of Venetian laces and Burano Laces. Both are needlelaces but are different in their construction. The venetian laces are made joining the motifs with bars, the Burano laces have a net ground entirely made with needle. In the museum there are, mostly, examples of Venetian lace ("very" wonderful tableclothes !), but there are wonderful fans and gloves without fingers made in Burano lace. Closed for renovation in 2008, re-opening in November 2008
