Chinese Footbinding Culture Museum

With plenty of English, this fascinating museum covers the thousand-year history of female foot-binding in China with examples of the shoes that constituted (as captions in the museum attest to) the Golden Lotus (3in foot) complex that was the freakish mentality of the males at that time. Periodically banned, foot-binding was finally abolished in the 20th century.
