The Exhibit is organized into two galleries. The first gallery is dedicated to the foot itself.
Organized tours hear about the bones and many functions of the foot.
The visitor can read about the walking process, or gait cycle, a complex series of movements coordinated between brain and body. This is clearly illustrated by spinning the Zoetrope, a nineteenth-century forerunner of the motion picture projector, to see the walking gait cycle in action. An interactive computer demonstrates at the viewers' speed, the layers found under the skin, as well as demonstrations of six common surgical procedures. A fluoroscope, commonly found in shoe stores until the 1950's, can be found in this gallery. An X-ray of a foot inside a shoe is on display within the fluoroscope, very much like one which a customer would have seen when placing their own foot in this device.
