DIGITAL COLLABORATIVE MUSEUM
Welcome to the “Digital Collaborative Museum” project of the Museum of Footwear and the Inca Industry. The initiative arises from the need to create a digital archive in line with the contributions made by the community, in order to gather all that tangible and intangible heritage that is still stored in the homes of Mallorca today, and that is impossible for us. keep in the Museum.

If so, you have a chance that this heritage will not disappear and will be exposed forever more on our website. Fill out the form below with the fields you know, and make your contribution to the story.
