Unearthing Vindolanda: Footwear from the Edge of the Roman Empire

Step into the ancient world at the Bata Shoe Museum, where over 100 extraordinary artifacts from Vindolanda — a Roman fort just south of Hadrian's Wall — are on view in North America for the very first time. Marvel at remarkably preserved footwear and leather goods that tell intimate, human stories from the edges of a vast empire. It's a rare and quietly thrilling exhibition that proves even the humblest objects can carry centuries of history. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
