There was a temporary exhibition being held on the ground floor - I grew up 80’s. I was greeted by old toys such as Guess Who?, an old-style TV and audio player, images of movies and music from the 80s, and books from the same period. The basement was an exhibition about shoes. For me, the interesting shoes plus their corresponding descriptions on the screens were for the oldest forms of footwear, and footwear that was created with symbolic meaning in mind. · via Google [Obi Abuchi (John)](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105449497265032746035/reviews) ★★★★★ Really enjoyed my visit to Northampton Museum. The atmosphere was lovely and quiet, making it easy to take everything in. There are so many interesting pieces of history to explore, and the shoe section in particular was a highlight.
