| - 3.5 stars if I could give it.
$14 adult admission, x2... This better be good! It's not a big museum.
My husband tried to get me to go with someone else, but we had no takers so I dragged him along. He actually admitted that he liked it and wished there was more to the first part of the exhibit.
Now, does that mean, he wasn't satisfied? or he liked it that much?
The 1st part of the exhibit is quite interesting, and looking back, I'd wished I'd gone through it again. They showcase the development of the shoe through history, and around the world.
I look at some of the exhibits and think "We haven't come that far from foot torturing devices" and "OMG, how did they walk in those things". Did you know that fashion wise- heels were originally worn by men? And before that, heels and elevated shoes were for practical reasons-- Hint: In Medieval times the roads were full of $hit.
2nd and 3rd part art exhibits on North American First People's shoes through history, by region. Beaded soles on moccasins! and Modern Day (this century) creation of traditional footwear around the globe.
The 4th part is an exhibit on the role of athletic shoes in pop culture - not so interesting to me. I don't know if this is a changing exhibit or not. But either way, I don't really care about Justin Beiber's stinky shoes.
