Christmas exhibition and accompanying programme in the South Bohemian Museum
The Christmas exhibition presents bobbin lace as a unique craft, combining precise skill with beauty as delicate as a spider's web. Let yourself be enchanted during Advent and visit the rich accompanying programme for children and adults.
The exhibition presents bobbin lace as a unique craft with a long tradition and an important place in cultural heritage. It focuses on a thematically coherent collection of lace works with Christmas motifs and symbolism, including lace paintings and three-dimensional nativity scenes. It is complemented by a selection of historical laces that originally served to decorate church textiles, folk and bourgeois clothing or home furnishings, thus documenting the diverse ways in which they were used in the past.
