Founded by Sonja Bata, the museum is one of the largest shoe collections in the world and is a wonderful source of inspiration for designers across the globe, including Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, Nicholas Kirkwood, and Sophia Webtser, among others.

The Bata Shoe Museum is located in Toronto, Canada, in a gem of a building designed by Canadian architect Raymond Moriyama. Since its opening in 1995, the museum has welcomed more than two million visitors to more than forty exhibitions. It is also renowned for its ground-breaking research and is consistently celebrated as one of the top fashion museums in the world.

Elizabeth Semmelhack is the creative director and senior curator of the Bata Shoe Museum, and her work focuses on the intersections of fashion, economics, and gender with a particular interest in the history of footwear. She has curated over twenty exhibitions for the Bata Shoe Museum, including the blockbuster traveling exhibition The Rise of Sneaker Culture and the ground-breaking exhibitions Standing Tall: The Curious History of Men in Heels, On a Pedestal: Renaissance Chopines to Baroque Heels and Heights of Fashion: A History of the Elevated Shoe, each with an accompanying publication.
