You may walk a mile in someone else’s shoes with a ticket to Bata Shoe Museum, dedicated solely to shoes! The museum uses shoes to show the shape-shifting social fabrics of cultures around the world – past and present. You will also see French chestnut-crushing boots alongside delicately embroidered Chinese silk shoes, bear fur shoes made for Japanese samurai warriors, flip-flops, and footwear made from human hair!
Laced with over 13,000 exhibits spanning 4,500 years, with temporary exhibitions to boot, you’re sure to wear out some leather exploring it all! Stare at a well-preserved velvet-covered platform chopine from 16th-century Renaissance Italy, sandals from ancient Greece and Egypt, and the elegant creations of today’s haute couture catwalk designers, and lots more. You will also find Crocs here too. Every shoe has a story. Whats yours?
