The Museo del Merletto is open Tuesday through Sunday and is closed on Mondays. For most of the year, its operating hours are 10am–4pm, but between May and September, it opens 10am–5pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Last admission is 30 minutes before closing.

Museo del Merletto is on the little island of Burano. Water bus 12 links Burano to Murano, and water bus 9 connects it to Torcello. From Venice Santa Lucia Station, it’s about a 1.5-hour trip: take water bus 3 to Murano, then 12 to Burano. Many travelers find boat tours easiest.

It depends on the kids. The Museo del Merletto isn’t the most obvious choice with young children, although there are a few videos to break up the exhibits. However, children with an interest in fashion, crafts, embroidery, knitting, or crochet might well get a great deal out of the experience.

Yes, Museo del Merletto is wheelchair accessible. Some streets on Burano are cobbled, but the cobbles are generally low-lying, so they should not present an issue. Water buses in Venice have wheelchair spaces, but getting on and off can be difficult when they’re so crowded that they float below the dock.
