Feet are the same around the world, but what we wear can be so different! On Monday, July 8, at 7 PM, discover the many different types of shoes worn throughout the ages during our virtual (on Zoom) tour of Toronto's Bata Shoe Museum. As the only museum in North America dedicated to footwear, the Bata Shoe Museum showcases 4,500 years of history and nearly 15,000 artifacts in its collection. 

During our tour we will experience four different exhibitions including: All About Shoes: Footwear Through the Ages; In Bloom: Flowers and Footwear; Dressed To Impress: Footwear and Consumerism in the 1980s; Exhibit A: Investigating Crime and Footwear. So put on your footwear of choice and join us for this visually appealing and historically interesting tour! Along the way, we’ll also learn about the museum’s fascinating architecture and the special designs incorporated to spotlight footwear.
