Summary

edit
Description Our final stop for the day was at the entrance to the Bata Shoe Museum. It was nearly 17:00 now, and we would have had to rush through the museum, and I was far too tired to do that, so like everyone else on the bus, I did not get off here. You can see some shoes in the lobby of the building if you peek behind the facade glass of the building. The museum collects, researches, preserves, and exhibits footwear from around the world. It offers four exhibitions, three of which are time-limited, lectures, performances and family events. The collection contains over 13,500 items from throughout history, as well as the present. It is the only museum in North America dedicated solely to the history of footwear. The collection which became the Bata Shoe Museum was started by Sonja Bata in the 1940s. As she travelled the world on business with her husband, Thomas J. Bata of the Bata Shoe Company, she gradually built up a collection of traditional footwear from the areas she was visiting.
