Schoenenkwartier: shoes as design and industry

The Schoenenkwartier in Waalwijk combines a museum, lab and knowledge centre. Shoes, design and the local shoe and leather industry give the subject more layers than fashion alone.

Plan your visit ↗

Taking a shoe apart with your eyes

Look at shape, material and use as three different questions. What seems intended for comfort, what for a particular activity and what for appearance? Use the exhibition texts to test your impression against concrete information.

Making and designing

The combination with a lab and knowledge centre highlights the making process as a subject. Ask which parts are open to the public and which activities you need to book separately. The temporary exhibitions partly determine which designs or themes you will find.

A good time to go

On weekdays the museum opens earlier than at weekends. Public holidays have various exceptions, so check the current overview. Payment is by debit card. Guided tours must be arranged in advance, even if individual museum admission is possible without booking.

Before you go

Check weekend and public holiday hours and bring a payment card.
