MASTERCLASS WITH LIZA SNOOK

Masterclass

As part of the new exhibition COLLECTING CONNECTING: MORE THAN 20 YEARS OF THE VIRTUAL SHOE MUSEUM, the Shoe Museum is organizing a masterclass with Dutch designer, collector, and curator Liza Snook.

Since the 1980s, when she studied graphic design at the Royal Academy of Art The Hague, Liza Snook has been dedicated to collecting all kinds of objects related to footwear.

Over the past 20 years, her impressive and original collection has brought together pieces from some of today’s leading footwear designers.

With the aim of sharing this passion, she created the website VirtualShoeMuseum.com in 2004 together with her partner, Taco Zwaanswijk.

In this masterclass, she will share her experience as an exhibition curator, where the shoe is presented simultaneously as an object of design and art.

Free activity with mandatory scheduling via email museudocalcado@cm-sjm.pt or phone call +351 256 004 006.
