Acquisition Policy
According to the Museum’s Purchasing Policy, we are available to receive objects as long as they allow to:
- Complement the currently existing collection;
- Enrich the collections with items that may improve knowledge of the shoe industry;
- Safeguard collections of patrimonial and cultural value which are in condition to demand treatment carried out by the Museum and that, cumulatively, relate to the shoe industry.
On the sequence of any donation, the Shoe Museum is obliged to:
- Proceed to the incorporation, inventory and study of the collection received;
- If necessary, proceed to preventive conservation actions, as well as to healing conservation intervention and restauration of the items received;
- Register, catalogue and document the collection;
- Interpret the objects, associating them to the significant memories collected from previous owners.
