review
by Ruth Hickman: The
flax museum is great, as they take you from planting to thread and how
it was used. It is realinteresting but not for those of us who are allergic
to dust and pollens : ) but had a great time anyway. They have a
second part of the Flax museum that is a wonderful Lace museum. It
is in a new building all its own and just fantastic. The first floor is
lace and a lot of it. The second floor is set up in life like rooms of
different scenes, with lace in use in most of them.
|
Museums can be found in almost every town called HeemkundeMuseum
(old habits and usage of the people) and most of the time you will find
some lace and embroidery in them. People should just go the the Tourist
Office and find out.

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.( information from Tiziana Sammuri, Taranto

lace biennial
There are normally 4 exhibitions: local lace, Italian lace, lace
from all over the world, and lace for the competitions.
The 1998 themes were related to Marco Polo and Poetry. This year there
was also a fashion exhibition, the patterns of the woven or printed fabrics
were inspired by lace patterns.
Sansepolcro is situated in the Arezzo province of Toscana, so the 'normal'
way to get there by public transport is Via Florence and Arezzo. Sansepolcro
is however the end station on the Umbrian railway from Perugia. It is possible
to travel by train from Rome changing at the station Perugia Ponte St.
Giovanni.
There is a crossbow competition in Sansepolcro the second Sunday in
September each year, the lace biennial is held in connection with that
