Review & FAQ:

The Temple University Shoe Museum is home to approximately nine hundred different pairs of shoes, 250 of these can be seen in the TUSPM main building on the sixth floor. While there is no entrance fee for the Temple University Shoe Museum, visits need to be scheduled in advance. The museum was established in the year 1976 during the country’s bicentennial as an additional attraction for those visiting Independence Park and the Liberty Bell, as the two are located just two block away from Temple University. Most of the collection is from the nineteenth century and twentieth century, along with older footwear.
