If the shoe fits...
Released: 26 Jun 2007
…don’t be down at heel, there are over 300 years of lost soles on display at Worthing Museum!
10am to 5 pm on Tuesday from Saturday 30th June until 13 October 2007 in the Norwood Gallery.
From chunky boots to teetering heels, platforms to flats, this exhibition will feature a lexicon of styles taken from the museum’s extensive costume and textile collection.
Curator of Historic Collections, Kate Loubser, says:
"Worthing Museum has a fantastic collection of shoes with the earliest example dating from the 17th century and stretching right up to the end of the 20th century. We are showing a pair of shoes thought to be those of Princess Amelia…a very important lady in Worthing’s history…"
Kate adds:
"I know that many people out there have a love of shoes and shoe collecting, so I hope this exhibition will be a chance for people to indulge their passions!"
Discover how shoes can be objects of practicality, creativity, fashion or beauty.
