Discover the treasures of North America's inspiring, charming shoe museum. Located in Toronto, Canada, the Bata Shoe Museum regularly displays over a thousand shoes and related artifacts, chosen from a collection of nearly 15 000 objects, in architect Raymond Moriyama's iconic, award-winning building. The BSM celebrates footwear's style, development, and function 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.
