Shoe history
Description
An exciting and engaging session for both Key Stage 1 and 2 students.
Children will develop an understanding of shoes in the past, through our extensive handling collection of both original and replica shoes.
During this session students will find out about shoes by exploring footwear through the ages using the museum’s extensive shoe handling collection. Students will handle different examples of footwear and learn how materials, fastenings, and shoe shapes have changed over the years.
