There`s only one more month to visit our exhibition Rough & Ready: A History of the Cowboy Boot before it closes on September 20, 2026! 👢

✨ See boots worn by legends like Nudie Cohn and Gene Autry as well as boots made by incredible bootmakers like Lisa Sorrell (@sorrellcustomboots), Lee Miller (@texas_traditions_boots) and many more! ...

On September 17, we`ll be having a fascinating evening with archaeologist Elizabeth Greene (@beth_finallyonweb), whose extensive research at Vindolanda has helped reshape our understanding of life on the edge of the Roman Empire.

Drawing on her firsthand excavation experience, Greene will take us behind the scenes of the dig: what it feels like to carefully unearth history layer by layer, the challenges of working in the soil of northern England, and the thrill of discovering objects that have not been touched in nearly two millennia.
