Kantcentrum vzw
About This Museum
People come to the Kantcentrum not just to see lace, but to understand the immense patience and skill woven into every thread. You can almost hear the quiet, rhythmic click of the bobbins from the artisans who still demonstrate here daily. The museum brilliantly walks you through its history, from intricate Flemish designs to how this craft was an economic lifeline for many families. It’s a surprisingly moving tribute to a delicate art form that built a city's reputation.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is seeing live demonstrations where skilled hands create breathtaking pieces right before your eyes. Don't miss the samples of antique bobbin lace, some so fine they look like they were spun from spider silk.
Visitor Information
Tucked away on a quiet street in Bruges, it's a wonderful escape from the main squares. If you're feeling inspired, check their schedule for hands-on workshops—there's nothing like trying your own hand at the bobbins to truly appreciate the craft.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a charming, historic building that was once part of a poor school and a chapel, its old-world character perfectly complements the traditional craft preserved inside.
