The art collection consists of more than 400 works of art (paintings, graphics, drawings, sculptures and photographs), as of 2011 located on the ground floor of the representative Renaissance-Baroque Pima palace, in Flour Square, in Kotor Old Town.

Over three years, more than 50 women learned the craft, while public demonstrations and lace products have helped to secure its future
