Leather museums - Leather in museums

Apart from the many leather museums around the world, there are hundreds of thousands of leather objects in museums that do not specialize in leather. Since leather has played an important role in everyday life from the beginning of cultural history to the present day, there has always been leather in all cultures, which, if still preserved, is one of the many leather exhibits in museums worldwide.
