Find out about our collection

Our collection tells the stories of the people of Northampton and our international shoemaking significance. We care for a wide and diverse range of objects important to Northampton and the surrounding county. Inspired by the collecting ambitions of our founders, the shoe collection is of international significance, and so too is much of the art collection.
