Go on a Thurs between 5-8pm as it is pay-what-you-can. Loved the permanent exhibits and "The Rise of Sneaker Culture" was great and is on until March 2014 so catch that if you can!

Just the right size (get it ????) for a museum , and so much more than just a shoe collection ; you’ll come out educated about shoe history and culture.
