Bata Shoe Museum
Next  time you find yourself limping at the end of the day and cursing your Manolos or Jimmys, take a virtual step into the Bata Shoe Museum to see how much worse it could have been. The museum's online collections chronicle the evolution of sandals, slippers, clogs, and boots from around the world over the past 4500 years. Check out the predecessors of super-trendy Ugg boots in the Circumpolar group, Syrian kabkabs with mother-of-pearl inlay in the Ethnologial collection, or Elton John's silver and red platforms in the Walk of Fame. Think you know a thing or two about shoes through the ages? The fun facts quiz will help determine if you're a true Imelda-in-training. (in Fashion > Footwear) |
