This paper deals with the concept of musealization and its role in the protection and preservation of lacemaking around the world, especially in Croatia. First, the initiative for the protection of cultural assets is presented through the presentation of the institution of UNESCO and its Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, and then the Croatian cultural heritage is presented through its most famous examples. Then, through the explanation of the concept of musealization, it is explained how it affects lacemaking. The concept of lacemaking is presented through a world view and then a little narrower, the Croatian one, where lacemaking is a valuable cultural asset that lives on through lacemakers in places all over the Republic of Croatia. Places like Pag, Lepoglava, Hvar, Trg near Ozalj and Sikirevac are working hard to ensure that the techniques are not lost in the past through lace making, protection of lace made in history, teaching younger generations this technique and exhibitions in museums where everyone can see examples of it. These techniques are briefly presented, accompanied by visual content, so the musealization of each is specifically discussed.
