Lace Museum in Vamberk

Lace Museum in Vamberk

Visit a unique exhibition explaining development of Czech lace from the 18th century to the present day.

The exposition of the Museum of Lace in Vamberk in East Bohemia presents old folk lace, traces the development of lace-making under the influence of vocational education since the end of the 19th century, and features the work of the founding figures of Czech modern lace and the work of their pupils. A separate part of the exhibition is a collection of unique works by contemporary Czech artists.


The exposition of the museum contains mainly bobbin lace, but also lace made by other technologies. From 2020, the museum will also offer a new exhibition of contemporary lace art, which aims to make visitors more aware of current modern trends in lace making. Thus, among the new exhibits you will see, for example, bobbin beetles, jewellery and even a backpack and sneakers. In addition to the permanent exhibition, the museum also organises thematic exhibitions. The museum also has a shop where you can buy bobbin lace and all the supplies for lace makers.
