Museum devoted to bobbin lace in Almagro (Ciudad Real), located in the Callejón Villar and opened on 12 June 2004. It brings together collections of picaos, laces and blondes made in the town and its district. The craft lace industry became established in the 19th century, following the economic boost given in the 18th by the conde de Valdeparaíso, who created a textile industry that organised the production of blondes and laces in the town.
