Eperon d'Or, Industrial heritage museum in Izegem, Belgium.

The Eperon d'Or museum occupies a former Art Deco shoe factory building with a restored administrative wing and modern rooftop extension for exhibitions.

The shoe manufacturing company Eperon d'Or began in 1863 under Emiel Vandommele and employed 180 workers by 1930, producing high-quality footwear.

The museum collection includes 4000 pairs of historical shoes and exhibits dedicated to the regional tradition of brush manufacturing in Flanders.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM, with extended hours from 10 AM during summer and Easter holidays.

The museum features a reconstructed 1950s shoe production line and preserves an adjacent steam engine that powered industrial operations in Izegem.
