Internationaal Klompenmuseum: footwear made of wood

The Internationaal Klompenmuseum in Eelde describes clogs and other wooden footwear from various countries. The workshop and the film link the object with the making of it.

Plan your visit ↗

Form follows the foot

In the display, look at how the opening, sole and outer shape differ. The explanations can help you understand use and design without knowing all the types beforehand.

The making process

According to the museum, a group guided tour includes a video, the workshop and the exhibition. This lets you follow a clog from raw material to finished footwear. Ask which demonstrations are available.

With a school group

The educational programme includes a treasure hunt and decorating a small clog, among other things. That programme is arranged separately; it is not automatically part of an individual walk-in visit.

Before you go

There is a museum season. School classes must always book; the venue is described as being all on one level and wheelchair-friendly.
