Resembling an entrance to a circus sideshow, the Giant Shoe Museum is a flamboyant presence at Seattle's downtown Pike Place Market. While it is essentially a single exhibit wall, it occupies a sizable chunk of the Old Seattle Paperworks store.
The Museum displays part of the collection of Danny Eskenazi, who became obsessed with giant shoes after he'd learned that his grandfather had once owned a wingtip worn by Robert Wadlow, the world's tallest man.
Danny offered $1,000 to anyone who could find that Wadlow shoe. It remains lost, but his efforts led to the discovery of the other shoes that are now displayed in the Museum (his offer still stands, and there's an exhibit on it as well).
