Armenian Needlelace: Poetry in Thread
Our upper-floor, northwest gallery exhibit, Armenian Needlelace: Poetry in Thread, is now open for tours by appointment. Tours with curator Elise Youssoufian are conducted Monday, Friday, and some Saturdays.
Our permanent collection is home to thousands of precious textile works of art, but perhaps most remarkable and splendid of them all are the many delicate Armenian needlelace circles. We invite you to join us in celebrating their makers’ immense skill and handiwork, their exuberant creativity, and their exceptional persistence.
Beginning August 16th, exhibit tours will be available most Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 1pm or 3pm, by appointment. All Lacis exhibit tours are free for museum members with up to four guests; otherwise, they are $3 per person. To book a tour, please call Lacis at 510.843.7290 or email info@lacismuseum.org.
