Shape follows a foot
The museum organisation mentions clogs from the Netherlands and other countries. On a later visit, you can compare how the outer shape differs. The question stays concrete: how do you make room for a foot while keeping enough strength in the wood?
Handwork and machines
A workshop with machines is part of the presentation described. That makes it possible to compare manual and machine work. Ask which steps a maker still decides personally and where a machine takes over an action.
Unusual versions
The museum also mentions striking variants, such as a football clog and a smuggler’s clog. Such names raise questions that the explanatory text should answer. The redisplay may change what can be seen of these; old collection pages are not a notice of opening.
Before you go
Sköpke is closed for renovation. Oudheidkamer Buisjan has its own opening hours.
