IN THE SIX: The Bata Shoe Museum 

During the Toronto open house, I was able to go to the Beta shoe museum for free. I had so much fun watching and seeing everything around me. It was a small museum with a confusing layout. The exhibit was so good and history from the begging of time to modern day was showcased. I'm a big fan of shoes and styling them with your outfit. Beta Shoe Museum is the best museum for girls who love shoes. Although the exhibit space isn't large, it feels authentic. The 1980’s exhibit was so detailed with popular trends from that era. There's nothing like flashing colors from the 1980s. The exhibit called Investigating crime and footwear gave me a chill. I found it fascinating how they got criminals 90 years ago and exterminated footprints to catch them. In Bloom showcased floral patterns from ancient times to modern day designs. It’s a staple in the fashion industry and florals can be recycled.

Located in Toronto, Canada, the Bata Shoe Museum regularly displays over a thousand shoes and related artefacts, chosen from a collection of nearly 15 000 objects, in architect Raymond Moriyama’s iconic, award-winning building. The BSM celebrates the style, development and function of footwear across four impressive galleries, with displays ranging from Chinese bound-foot shoes and ancient Egyptian sandals to chestnut-crushing clogs and glamorous platforms. Over 4,500 years of history are reflected in our permanent exhibition, All About Shoes while our three other galleries feature changing exhibitions – so there’s always something new to see according to Beta Shoe museum.
