    Speaker: Kim Watson

    Topic:  History and Mission of the Bata Shoe Museum

    Kim notes that the mission of the Bata Shoe Museum is to communicate the central role of footwear in shaping the social and cultural life of humanity. Through acquiring, conserving, researching, interpreting and exhibiting material evidence of the history of footwear and shoemaking, Kim will illustrate the changing habits, lifestyles, culture and customs of the world’s inhabitants. The BSM’s international collection of nearly 15,000 artefacts spans 4,500 years of history.

    The Bata Shoe Museum is home to the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of shoes and footwear-related objects. In addition, it is an internationally recognized centre for footwear research that sponsors field research, publishes research findings and promotes education.

    Kim’s presentation will illustrate artefacts from virtually every culture in the world. Where else could you find French chestnut-crushing boots under the same roof as delicately-embroidered Chinese silk shoes, bear fur shoes made for Japanese samurai warriors and footwear made from human hair?

    We look forward to learning about history through the decades of foot ware innovation.
