Bally Schuhmuseum
Schönenwerd
Since 1942, the Haus zum Felsgarten, once the home of company founder Carl Franz Bally, has housed a museum whose exhibits are all about shoes. The history of the development of footwear from antiquity to the present is traced here. You can admire footwear from all over the world, documents on the manufacture of shoes (tools, equipment), documents on the shoemaker's trade (guilds, customs, etc.), a collection of antique objects in the form of shoes made of clay, bronze and iron with a religious-magical character, as well as vessels, jars and knickknacks made of porcelain, faience, glass, wood, horn and precious metals from the Baroque to modern times. Paintings and graphics on the subject of shoes and shoemakers complete the rich offer.
