Toronto - Bata Shoe Museum

The Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto features over 12,500 pairs of shoes from around the world. The museum showcases these shoes in changing exhibits throughout the year - artifacts range from delicately embroidered silk slippers to ancient Egyptian sandals to

chestnut-crushing clogs to moon boots. Footwear spanning thousands of years of history and a collection of 20th century celebrity shoes are on display at the Bata Shoe Museum.

The building which houses the museum is also an award winning piece of architecture by architect Raymond Moriyama.
