A pair of bright blue wool slippers with a wolf s head stitched on the front that once belonged to Irish revolutionary Michael Collins are tucked away in a storage museum at a Dublin museum.Â
The 100-year-old slippers, which are as vividly blue as if they were crafted this year, are currently stored in a storage room at the National Museum at Collins Barracks in Dublin City.Â
The museum regularly houses thousands of items in its storerooms as it does not have space to display everything it owns and curators at the museum maintain Collins unique slippers by wrapping them in acid-free tissue paper and storing them in cardboard boxes. The slippers were recently observed by Irish historian Gillian O Brien.Â
