In January this year the banner on the Museo Del Merletto in Burano gave opening times: - from first November to 31 March 10am/4pm, 1 April to 31 October 10am/5pm; closed Tuesday, 25 December, 1st January and 1st May. However, when we got close it was obvious they had omitted to say which year! Peering through the windows we could only see a vast empty space. The building looked all spruced up so perhaps they were just a bit behind in replacing the lace.
There were several shops selling lace and in one there was a woman making needlelace. The many coloured houses shone in the bright sunshine, the canals a kaleidoscope of reflections, and there were very few tourists so the island itself was a delight for first time visitors but you should check with the museum if that is your main reason for the trip.

It is a long boat ride, and if it hasn't changed from the last time I was there, about 8 years ago, I am not sure it is worth it - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
