Past and future exhibitions at the Museum

Since 1978 the summer programme at the Rauma Museum has included special exhibitions of lace. At these exhibitions the traditions of lace making of other countries have been presented. The samples have been mostly of bobbin lace or sewn lace. For the sake of comparison, machine made lace has also been included on one occasion.

At these exhibitions lace produced in most of the major lace producing countries have been presented, including the other Nordic countries, Germany, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, the UK, Russia, Italy and so on.
The latest exhibition will be held this year and will present lace from Portugal.

Foreign exhibitions

The Rauma Museum has also taken Rauma lace abroad, and presented it elsewhere in Finland. Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Latvia, German, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Portugal are countries where we have either held an exhibition of our own, or have presented our lace as a part of a larger exhibition.
