SHOES: PLEASURE AND PAIN

This remarkable exhibition skilfully assembles over 200 pairs of extreme and elaborate footwear from around the world. Some of the shoes that so beautifully feature have not once been displayed before. 

Spectators will observe intricate and dramatic shapes, whilst considering the vast development of footwear technology over time and the part that culture has played. Take a little look at images of our favourite styles below.
