Shoe of the Month Podcast

The Bata Shoe Museum's podcast series brings you the inside scoop
on one fantastic shoe every month

Sometimes it is easy to forget that the stories behind the artefacts on display in a museum are more than just what you read on the label. They were made by someone, owned by someone, came from somewhere. Beginning in October 2010, our monthly podcast series will focus on examining some of the fascinating stories that lie behind the shoes in our collection. Who did they belong to? What do they say about the owner? How did they come to be part of the collection? These are just a few of the questions that Assistant Curator and Exhibition Manager Sarah Beam-Borg will be looking at in the newest podcast series "Shoe Stories".
