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.
Form follows the foot
The opening, sole and outer shape are points of comparison in the display. 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.
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.
Combine the film with the workshop to follow the different processing steps more easily.
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.
