Did you know the Henry Art Gallery has over 500 pairs of shoes in its permanent collection?
Last week, UW professor Layne Goldsmith brought her ART 272: Introduction to Sculpture class to the Henry’s Reed Collection Study Center to look at a selection of incredible shoes from the museum’s collection.
After choosing their favorite pair of shoes for inspiration, students are now working to design a creative enclosure in which one could hold, display, or protect shoes.
To see more shoes in the Henry’s collection search “footwear” in the Online Collections Database. Have fun exploring!

Great collection of shoes. All are ultimate. I am too much crazy about different footwear. I have got so much valuable information from your blog.
