SUMMARY:Celebrating 30 Years: Community Day
DESCRIPTION:The Bata Shoe Museum first opened its doors 30 years ago on May 6th\, 1995 with the mission to illuminate human history through footwear. A rare cultural gem\, the BSM began as a small personal collection that has since transformed into an internationally celebrated museum caring for nearly 15\,000 shoes and shoe-related artifacts spanning over 4\,500 years. Visit our online timeline to learn more about the history of the Bata Shoe Museum.  \nTo celebrate\, we invite you to join us for a day of free family fun that honours both our 30-year milestone as well as the opening of our spring exhibition titled Rough and Ready: A History of the Cowboy Boot. Saddle up for a day of wild Western-themed activities\, performances\, games\, and self-guided hands-on cowboy crafts that will have you hollering “Yeehaw”.  Watch an electrifying Rhinestone Rodeo Show by the dynamic circus trio Rhinestone Rodeo\, blending dazzling acrobatics with cowboy charm. Take a guided exhibition tour of Rough & Ready and then venture on a museum-wide scavenger hunt to win a prize. For the courageous type\, try out your skills on the kid-friendly mechanical bull.
