In the early 20th century the city had only 3,000 inhabitants, but suffered a total transformation thanks to intervention of the industry businessman Tomas Bata. Bata did not limit himself to only set up his factories in Zlin, but he also created the whole city according to the needs of his industry. To do this, he designed all city buildings: factories, homes, leisure centres, offices, public buildings... all with the same red bricks, and under the same functionalist pattern, with the aim of providing an environment for their workers to integrate family life, work and leisure. Tomas Bata was a great philanthropist, and besides giving their employees excellent working conditions, also projected in the city wide avenues and gardens. Undoubtedly, the most emblematic building of Zlin is the Bata skyscraper, a huge tower that hosted the headquarters of this industrial city, where is one of the amazing places I've ever seen: the office of Mr Bata. With its desk, its phone, and even a sink... shocking truth! This office is one of the most spectacular and interesting sites I've ever come across in my travelling life. Apparently, it is a normal office, but it also is an elevator that rises to the 10th floor. From here the boss organized all the activities of the company. That's right, in addition of a spacious office, it is an elevator that goes through all floors of the building, so that Mr Bata had access to all facilities without leaving its office: an office that reaches the top of the building and from where we have the best views of the city. By the way... I have not said yet what were the industries of Mr. Bata about, right? Well, the answer lies in that building, number 14. I am convinced that very few of you will have heard of the city of Zlin, but if I tell you that I'm sure that all of you at some point in your life have worn something of this city on your feet, you are to agree with me! That's right, here in Zlin shoes are produced. From this city is the famous Bata shoe brand, which today is sold in all countries of the world. That is! Thanks to a common and everyday object like a shoe they made an entire industrial and caused a social revolution in the region of Moravia. It is not surprising, therefore, to find here one of the most important museums of footwear in the world, with more than 4,000 pieces dating back from the 16th century to the present. You'll also find a fabulous collection of objects related with the manufacture of shoes throughout history. But my favourite part is devoted to the shoes from the world. To know how were the Eskimo boots or elegant pointe-toe shoes of the Persian region. And what about those impossible shoes of Japanese geishas!
