"I wanted to visit it"

Reviewed November 11, 2025

It is not a big museum but has some interesting items on display. We paid for 2 senior tickets 24 dollars. There is very good exhibition about the history of the shoes from Otzi footwear to astronaut shoes. Especially for the younger generation must be interesting room with sneakers and cowboy boots. I liked also the room showing crime and shoes.
