"Different and interesting museum"
TripAdvisor user rating 4 out of 5
Reviewed January 25, 2020 NEW
We went here today to check it out. It caught our eye since it was something different than other typical museums. It was an interesting find. It showed the history of shoes along with some of how they were made and how they changed throughout the years. Check this out if you are interested in a change of pace from the typical history, art, and other general museums they have everywhere.

"Interesting, but..."
TripAdvisor user rating 2 out of 5
Reviewed December 30, 2019 NEW
The collections show a few interesting elements, however, and although I have a good vision, it is almost impossible to read the descriptions: poor contrast, small fonts and poor illumination. The lights come from top / back, so when we tried to get closer to read the information, we projected shadows on the descriptions. In other words, we were not able to read the info. Several elements were repeated in different exhibits. In my opinion, not a good option.

The Bata Shoe Museum is really worth a visit. It has some of the most interesting footwear I have ever seen. I especially enjoyed the Arctic Footwear display. The craftmanship of these boots is absolutely amazing. The gift shop is pretty amazing too.

Culturally interesting and architectonically stunning museum dedicated to the influence of shoes on mankind A timeline from the stone-age to manolo blanikh in the ground floor and seasonally changing exhibits on the other floors are well worth a visit
