The Shoe Museum appears in an innovative way in the national museological panorama by portraying the memory of the footwear industry in S. João da Madeira and the reality of footwear design in Portugal in the 20th century, also pointing out ways of the technological and creative avant-garde of the 21st century .
This is an option dictated by the historical importance of S. João da Madeira in the context of footwear production at the national level and by the physical and symbolic framework of the Museum in a more comprehensive policy based on culture and creativity as factors of local development.
More than a mere exhibition of artifacts, the Shoe Museum is a space for learning, creativity and experimentation that will require its visitor to have an interactive posture and permanent questioning.
