I am in the Museum business. I've worked at Museums some the 1990s, and the Bata is one of the best museums I've been to in years. It's well laid-out, has a great collection, the labeling is exceptionally good, better than any museum I've ever been to. They don't dumb down the labels at all, and there's a lot of text, which is a great thing.
The lighting in a couple of galleries is very dark. I loved the first exhibit, the Shoes Around the World exhibit, and the shoes were great, and the way they put it together was so smart.
The best part might be that it doesn't feel like it was made for students. Too many museums are dumbed down, with everything feeling like it was put together for the field trip crowd, but not The Bata! That was great!
