We visited the museum last year and it´s well worth the trip. In the main street, just before you reach the museum, there is a lace shop called "Lydia". At the back of the shop and upstairs there is a lovely collection of lace, you ´ll probably have to ask them to switch on the lights.
We found several ladies making needlelace in the lace shops, they admitted that most of the lace found in Burano is neither made there or even hand made. Lots of cheap Chinese lace for tourists, sad but filling a commercial need.

Definitely looks like it is worth visiting, but if you can't there is also a short video in this link. http://www.italymagazine.com/news/museo-del-merletto-lace-and-lagoon Enjoy, Shirley Primavera near Green Bay, WI where Spring does NOT want to come...it is 13 degrees - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
