点评:For an unusual museum I headed to the University of Toronto campus to see the Bata Shoe Museum.
This museum was founded by the wife of the Bata shoe empire. It was four floors filled with shoes and exhibits. The shoes on display were just a small percentage of the 10k plus shoes collected by the museum.
It was a well organized museum. The recommendation was to start at the bottom which tracked human's first steps, shoes and the evolution of footwear through the ages and cultures. It was quite interesting. That ended one floor up with an intro about the museum founding and mission.
On the 3rd and 4th floors, there were special exhibitions devoted to artist sneaker creations (art on your feet), shoes in the 1980s (so many fashion trends and memories) and crime and footwear (less interesting for me).
Overall spent a little over an hour here and enjoyed it more than I expected.
翻译:为了参观一个不寻常的博物馆,我前往多伦多大学校园参观巴塔鞋博物馆。
这家博物馆是由巴塔鞋业帝国的妻子创办的。博物馆有四层楼,里面摆满了鞋子和展品。展出的鞋子只是博物馆收藏的 10,000 多双鞋子中的一小部分。
这是一个组织良好的博物馆。建议从底层开始,那里追踪人类的第一步、鞋子以及鞋类在不同时代和文化中的演变。这很有趣。最后一层是关于博物馆成立和使命的介绍。
在三楼和四楼,有专门展示艺术家运动鞋创作(脚上的艺术)、20 世纪 80 年代的鞋子(如此多的时尚潮流和回忆)以及犯罪和鞋类(对我来说没那么有趣)的特别展览。
总的来说,在这里呆了一个多小时,比我预期的要开心。
