The Empathy Museum is a series of art installations begun in 2015, invitiing participants to quite literally 'walk a mile in my shoes'.

Its purpose is to help visitors view the world through the perspectives of others, putting on a pair of shoes and listening to the owners story through headphones.

Exhibition themes have included the experiences of NHS nurses, refugees and migrants, the 1981 uprisings and more.

A weekly podcast, A Mile in My Shoes, was started in 2018.
