Muzeum krajky Vamberk

Muzeum krajky Vamberk is a museum in the Czech town of Vamberk dedicated to the traditional craft of bobbin lace. The building displays extensive collections of historical lace patterns and also showcases contemporary works by modern artisans who still practice this traditional craft today.

The bobbin lace tradition in Vamberk started at the end of the 19th century when a school for this craft was founded. This training set the foundation for an artisan tradition that continues to this day and has shaped many generations of craftspeople in the region.

The museum shows how bobbin lace has been made in this region for generations and what role this craft plays in people's lives here. Visitors can see how different techniques and patterns have been passed down over centuries and are still practiced today.

The museum sits in the town center and is easy to reach on foot, with a ground floor where visitors can use interactive learning stations. Plan about an hour and a half for a visit if you want to spend time with the exhibitions.

On the ground floor, visitors can try to create a lace pattern themselves using a working bobbin lace frame with 36 sticks. This hands-on experience shows just how much skill and focus this old craft really requires.
