Established in Calais, inside an authentic nineteenth century lace factory, the Museum of Lace and Fashion is a specialist museum for the famous lace woven on looms. A museum of both fashion and industry, its vast galleries present the techniques, the lingerie and haute couture associated with this prestigious textile, as well as its most contemporary aspects. The high point of a visit to this important museum is to discover the lace weaving looms in operation, those monumental cast iron machines that produce this exceptional fabric.

The history of lace making from Tudor to the present day kicks off a series of excellently presented rooms, with some interactive bits, culminating in the spectacular machine room with working demo of a real engineering marvel making a great swathe of curtain lace. The way lace was used in clothes from the adorable (baby bonnets) to the bizarre (take my word for it & go see) developed as machines replaced handwork & modern designers and artists found new ways to exploit the lace technology. The in-depth explanation of this technology & the range of skills needed was mind-boggling. My top pick - the life of Joan of Arc woven in Nottingham for a Paris exhibition. Current "special" section is a load of amazing couture, not all lace to be sure, by Belgian Olivier Theyskens - some pieces more wearable than others... A good deal of the labelling is bilingual, nice loos, park the other side of the river & enjoy a fine view of Calais cathedral from the high bridge.
