Shoes: Two Centuries of Style and Function (Exhibit Opening)

This new exhibition explores 200 years of changing fashion, labor, and identity through footwear. Featuring more than 25 original pairs of shoes—from early 19th-century wedding slippers to 1980s patriotic sneakers—visitors will discover rare examples of historic shoemaking, style trends, and stories tied to each pair. Highlights include rhinestone-studded flapper shoes, Italian patent leather pumps, Parisian embroidered silk heels, and custom-designed footwear from Fifth Avenue’s golden age.

Included with general admissions. Meet the curator from 1–3 PM.
