Musée de la dentelle
Situé en plein centre d'Alençon, ce musée, gratuit, est très intéressant même pour les personnes qui n'ont pas de connaissances approfondies sur les techniques de la dentelle. Une présentation très pédagogique permet de découvrir l'historique et les techniques de la dentelle d'Alençon. Des présentations permettent de découvrir des "pièces" exceptionnelles.
