If you have never gotten a chance to see their amazing exhibits, this is an opportunity you do not want to miss out on. During the event on Tuesday, October 12th, all five floors of the museum will be open exclusively for the guests of the Designed To Give Show. And if that isn't a sweet enough deal, The Bata Shoe Museum will be gaining a new exhibit just days before the event, giving you a chance to be one of the first people in the city to check it out.
The museum has a over 10, 000 collections, with exhibits ranging from Chinese bound foot shoes and ancient Egyptian sandals to chestnut-crushing clogs and gorgeous platforms. Not to mention some shoes from some of the most sought after foot wear designers in high fashion!
I hope to see you at our event so you can check it all out with us, and be sure to visit The Bata Shoe Museum's website by clicking on the link below, for more information and membership services. Directions and a map are posted after the link.
