BATA SHOE MUSEUM

SUPPORT #BSMFROMHOME

December 2022   What's On   Wednesday December 14 at 7pm EST Join us for our last Salon of 2022! Contemporary artists, fashion designers, and filmmakers often imagine Marie Antoinette as an eighteenth-century Imelda Marcos or Carrie Bradshaw, obsessed with shoes. But while the queen undoubtedly owned many shoes, there is no evidence that she favored them over any other item of clothing. Join us for this fascinating conversation with Dr. Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell who will explore the myths and realities of Marie-Antoinette’s shoe collection followed by a Q&A with Director & Senior Curator Elizabeth Semmelhack. RSVP NOW   Volunteer Opportunities   Looking to complete your hours? Come add to the festivities at our Holiday Cobbler Workshop from December 28 to January 7.
