We Put Our Foot In Everything!
Do you have an idea for a public program event at the Bata Shoe Museum?
You don't have to be a shoe expert to start something!
Are you a performer? Shoes have inspired plays, dances, music, and art.
Are you a storyteller? Shoes are the main show in many a film, folk tale, and novel.
Are you an expert in your field? Ancient cultures, current fashion trends, political events past and present, or economics are just some of the subjects that can be explored by looking at footwear.
To find out what it takes to get involved,

There's always something happening at the Museum! Our changing
exhibitions
and collections inspire talks, music, family activities, and much more with a unique flavour found nowhere else.

***SORRY, SOLD OUT*** Ballet Movie Night
'Amelia'
'Amelia' is nothing but dance, brilliantly shot, relentlessly in your face, astonishingly fast. The lesson of 'Amelia'...is to dance this hard, this fast, this gloriously while you still can.
—Los Angeles Times cited in Opus Arte
With introduction by Teresa Randall, Artistic Ballet Staff, The Shoe Room at Canada's National Ballet School.
The Bata Shoe Museum would like to thank Amerimage-Spectra for their support of this movie night.
Free popcorn too!
