Pag Lace Gallery
Izložba paške čipke
A small gallery showcasing Pag lace, a UNESCO-listed craft; in summer, you may see artisans weaving on site.
Pag lace is handmade with needle and thread, with geometric patterns radiating outward. In 2009 it was inscribed by UNESCO on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity as Croatian lace-making. The gallery in the Prince's Palace within the old town displays pieces and tools from different eras, and in summer artisans often give live demonstrations. Genuine handmade lace is quite expensive, since even a small coaster can take several days to make, so be sure you are buying local handiwork. Admission is low, and a visit takes about half an hour.
