Museum sights in Calais

  1. A

    Museum of Fine Arts & Lace

    The museum (Musée des Beaux-Arts et de la Dentelle) focuses on two things: modern sculpture, including pieces by Rodin; and the history of lace-making before and after the first lace machines were smuggled over from England - with French government encouragement - in 1816.

  2. B

    Musée de la Dentelle et de la Mode

    This museum is dedicated to Calais' glorious lace-making legacy. It's in a 19th-century lace factory whose façade has been transformed to look like a giant Jacquard punched card.
