Bata Shoe Museum Collection Event

Situated at the very top of the world, the Arctic spans over fourteen million square kilometers and eight countries. While its landscape seems harsh and inhospitable, over forty distinct cultural groups have thrived here for centuries. And among the most beautiful and innovative of their products are the footwear and clothing they created to meet environmental challenges and express cultural meanings.
