Bata Shoe Museum is a charming and amazing shoe Art Museum in North America.

The museum contains nearly 13 thousand pairs of shoes, over 1000 pairs of shoes and related artworks for immediate display. These are housed in the building of the four floor Museum of the Bata Museum, designed by Raymond Moriyama of Vancouver. The building looks like a shoe box with shoe art to protect shoes from moisture, dust and light.

At present, the museum has nearly 13 thousand pairs of shoes, spanning 4500 years.

It includes the clogging shoes used in France in nineteenth Century to crush the chestnut shells, the exquisite Chinese silk shoes, the Japanese samurai shoes made of polar bear fur, and shoes made of human hair.

From the entrance to the Bata Museum, tickets are purchased at the front desk opposite to the front office. Next to it is the souvenir shop. After the ticket is purchased, it can turn left to the basement, and the shoe journey has been launched since then. After the entry, the first step of "big class" began. 37 million years ago, Mary Leakey, a human archaeologist, discovered two feet upright human footprints in Tanzania, Africa, in 1976.

Along the reverse clock on the left, we can see ancient Egypt, Rome, China and other places. At that time, shoes worn by human beings and different religions also had different forms of shoes. Then, in front of the big exhibition cabinet, we developed unique shoes for all kinds of climate and environment, including shoes made of reed grass and made up of 40 centimeters in tube shape.

The exhibition hall in the basement also has all kinds of shoes style exhibition areas since twentieth Century. The right side shows the "giant shoes" with special size and size.

Traditional wooden shoes, etc., the basement from the interior of the middle, on display of various footwear tools; along the internal staircase up to the first floor, is the famous brand shoes area.

On the right side of the two floor of the museum is North American Aboriginal people who take different materials from local environments and shoes made of animal leather. They also have different shoes and decorations because of different regions and different animal skins. On the left side of the two floor, they include India, Tibet, Mongolia and Holland, so as to create a cold spell for ethnic groups such as the Nu people who are supposed to respond to the polar climate.

The third floor shows jogging shoes and basketball sports shoes at different stages. Hundreds of pairs of sports shoes explain the evolution of shoes, and display the decomposition of sports shoes on the wall.

In addition, the museum regularly adjusts the theme of the exhibition's shoes.
