You may ask a guide to tell you about the history of museum and to show the process of making lace as it was done in Vologda, then you go through few rooms of very impressive exposition.

New and modern museum. Excellent lace exhibition and passionate workers. We also very much enjoyed contest of lace birds.

The lady who took us around was an enthusiast and not only knew her stuff but also spoke excellent English.

As a man I was surprised how interesting the museum was. I will not start making lace but some of the achievments there were amazing. And some funny like the one about Lenin and Stalin sitting on a bench.

It is a very interesting museum to visit. It explains a lot of the Vologda history and the place of the laces here. The visit is also in English which is very good. It is a must see when in Vologda.

This museum is a pleasant way to spend the afternoon. We enjoy learning about the history and cultural aspects of Russia, and this place provides plenty of learning opportunities.
