Museums are the places that fill your mind with a great insight towards history and culture of the bygone era. The Museum of Fine Art and Lace has a wonderful collection of Italian, Flemish, and French lace. As you enter the museum, you will find a huge range of local production and well known Alencon stitch twinkling with pride. The Fine Art section of the museum is also a must visit. It features many paintings from the old French school and makes one familiar with the contemporary art. What makes the museum unique is that there’s still a room where women make the lace manually, and if you’re lucky, you will get to know their demonstration.

Museum of Fine Arts & Laceis an attractively designed museum one must visit. It is placed in an old lace-making factory of Calais. This museum reveals the modern sculptures and lace-making history when the lace-making machines were smuggled from England. It demonstrates everything about the lace manufacturing and also lets you make a lace on your own for trial.
