Today I visited the Bata Shoe Museum. Here you can see a wide collection of shoes of all times beginning with a duplication of the oldest known shoe of the “Ötzi” glacier man. They have the original wedding shoes of Queen Victoria, shoes of Pope Pius and socks of Napoleon. Interesting were the tiny shoes for the Chinese lotos feet ladies. At the moment they have a special exhibition of ballet shoes and moccasins of the native Americans. Those I liked most. The museum is probably the only shoe museum of its kind in the world.
