Bata Shoe Museum

The Bata Shoe Museum is a footwear museum in Toronto. The collection which became the Bata Shoe Museum was started by Sonja Bata in the 1940s. As she traveled 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.

Stopped at the shoe museum, unfortunately I left my winter hat in the bus. Interesting museum with shoes from around the world. Found a traditional Yoruba shoe in the collection. Spent 40 mins in the museum.Read more
