Discover the treasures of North America’s world-renowned shoe museum. Located in Toronto, Canada, the Bata Shoe Museum has over a thousand shoes and related artefacts (from a collection numbering over 13,000) in architect Raymond Moriyama’s award-winning five-floor structure.
The BSM celebrates the style and function of footwear in four impressive galleries. Footwear on display ranges from Chinese bound foot shoes and ancient Egyptian sandals to chestnut-crushing clogs and glamorous platforms. Over 4,500 years of history and a collection of 20th-century celebrity shoes are reflected in the semi-permanent exhibition, All About Shoes. Three other galleries feature changing exhibitions, so there’s always something new to see.

The museum it amazing. There are 4 floors and each dedicated to specific themes. There is a lot of historical knowledge shared as well as some beautifully designed shoes. The artist collaboration exhibit was top notch.

Fascinating and well worth a visit.
Footwear through history - sounds a bit boring but actually it really wasn't.
The displays were easy to see with the flow of exhibits easy to navigate.
The information boards were clear to read and provided lots of interesting information.
We looked at every single exhibit and didn't see Elton John or Elvis' shoes - shame as at the end when we asked where they were we were told the exhibits were closed and this was a disappointment.

People will tell you that this is a fun and interesting museum. Do not believe them. It is basically one room on the history of shoes. The remaining floors have displays which provide little interest. It was beyond boring.
And I love museums. I can literally museum almost anything. This is not a good museum. Overpriced too.
