Schoenenkwartier - Waalwijk, NL - History Museums on Waymarking.com

"In the Shoe Quarter, it is not just about watching and learning, but about participating and raising awareness. We want to offer new target groups an entrance into the cultural world and hopefully show the way to other museums. Because shoes are part of the identity for young and old, for rich and poor, for every color and every individual. The shoe belongs to the world and to everyone. In many forms. That includes many different stories. We want to tell them, we want to make visitors think about 'their' footwear, where it comes from, how it can be made with respect for the world.

We have an exceptional Dutch collection, supplemented with special designs and objects from the rest of the world. In the past decades we have also built up extensive knowledge about everything that has to do with the leather and shoe industry. We have also largely made this available digitally, so that gaining knowledge can become a journey of discovery in the Shoe Quarter."
