Bring Out Your Lace 2023
About the event
Does your family have any piece of lace hidden away? Maybe a family heirloom, or something you have acquired at some point that you wonder about.
Limerick Museum and Friends of Lace Limerick are organising a two-day special event in the Limerick Museum where you can bring in your own items of lace to be assessed, catalogued and photographed. You can get useful advice about lace preservation and storage.
Whether it’s in the attic or a family heirloom, bring it along for our experts!

Additional information
In 2015, Limerick Museum and Archives ran a similar event that lead to the publication of a digital catalogue: https://issuu.com/limerickmuseumandarchives/docs/lace.
In 2018, Friends of Lace Limerick in collaboration with Limerick Museum ran a second similar event, co-located with a pop-up exhibition in a central location in Limerick city. A number of artefacts that were brought in were donated to the Museum, shining a light on the fact that many important pieces are hidden in drawers and attics and are in danger of being discarded.
