Enthusiasm at the Bata Shoe Museum - even if you don't have a shoe obsession

Publikuar: 18.07.2023

This shoe museum, the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, has captivated me - a cultural history of everything you can wear on your feet and have worn at some point. From all countries, regions, and religions of the world; for viewing, trying on, participating, reflecting, and reconsidering. I am thrilled!

I love objects like these! For example, on the right: from the late 19th century, there were ceramic shoe warmers that were filled with hot water.
This mirror idea fascinated me and runs through the entire first floor.

My personal highlight object was Birkenstock sandals created in collaboration with Manolo Blahnik - a luxury designer firm that was also a topic in Sex and the City in the early 2000s.

My personal highlight object: were Birkenstock sandals á la Manolo Blahnik - they are the pink shoes. ;)
Watch museum staff at work. - I managed to see it shortly before the museum closed. It was just before closing time. Nevertheless, it's a cool idea.

The Bata Shoe Museum has really inspired me for the museum scene in Toronto. First, I went to the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) over the weekend. The ROM is talked about everywhere as one of the museum highlights; - well, I was rather confused and didn't feel so involved.

From the biodiversity exhibition section, where mainly stuffed animals can be seen, you enter directly into a small room where tin soldiers are exhibited, and then to the dinosaurs. I didn't understand this house and its structure and left confused. What's so great about it? And what didn't I understand?

At least my nephews would have enjoyed all the dinosaur bones, but I had enough soon. So, in my opinion: shoes are better than ROM.

Unusual and ordinary shoes in unusual sizes to try on at the Bata Shoe Museum.
