Lonely Planet review for Musée du Costume et de la Dentelle

Lace-making has been one of Flanders’ finest (and most eye-straining) crafts since the 16th century. While <em>kloskant</em> (bobbin lace) is believed to have originated in Bruges, <em>naaldkant</em> (needlepoint lace) developed in Italy but was predominantly made in Brussels. The Costume and Lace Museum reveals lace’s applications for under- and outerwear over the centuries, as well as displaying other luxury textiles such as embroidery. Ask for an English-language booklet.
