Bata Shoe MuseumDoors Open Toronto

Bata Shoe Museum

The Bata Shoe Museum is North America's only museum dedicated to exploring the history and cultural significance of footwear, housed in Canadian architect Raymond Moriyama's award-winning five-floor structure. The idea of the museum as a container came from the array of shoe boxes that house the rare and priceless artifacts, protecting them from light, moisture and dust.
