In one or another execution. Thanks to the inspiring collections of SONS, visitors have the opportunity to behold the fascinating world of shoes. From the first foot-covered steps until the modern shoes of today.

On the one hand, SONS takes us on a journey across all ethnic cultures. On the other hand, SONS also immerses us in the world of modern art, highlighted out of a surprising perspective. Leading us to the question: shoes or no shoes?
