A Box Of Shoes?
One of my stops during the Doors Open event was the Bata Shoe Museum on Bloor St which is the only museum in North America dedicated to the history of footwear. The building was designed by architect Raymond Moriyama and he says that he designed it to reference an opening shoe box. It has really interesting displays of the development of shoes through the ages and always has special exhibits as well. The sign saying "Want" is advertising a show of Depression era footwear that is now on and is fabulous.
