Oh, please don't make it one vs. the other. They are both
not-to-be-missed places. From SF it's a simple BART ride to Lacis (you
can see
it when you come up to street level) in Berkeley. The Lace
Museum is just a
few blocks from the train station. It was some years
ago so I don't remember
the details of getting there, but I believe I
took the train from the airport
(dropping my luggage with a long wait
till boarding). I think they offered to
send a volunteer with a car,
but you can basically walk cross-wise through a
large shopping mall
and the museum is just a short ways past that.

I have been to both places, on the same trip to SF area.
Lacis (in Berkeley) is very easy to get to as there is a BART stop just about
across the street.

The Lace Museum is also fairly easy to get to by public transportation I am
told.  When I was there I went just there and was picked up at the airport as
I was to teach a class.  I have heard that if you call the museum they will
give you directions for the public transportation access.

Both are well worth the trip.  Lacis has a shop and now museum space with
great displays, check the web site for details.
The Lace Museum has great displays that are changed (not sure of the time
frame for change), again call or check the web site for details.  They also
had a small shop in the building.

I enjoyed both and would return again in 'a heart beat' if I were in the
area.
