Imelda+Marcos+Museum

__**The Imelda Marcos Museum** __ By Emily S.

Imelda Marcos opened her own museum to show off her wealth to the world. Her museum consisted of the jewelry, clothing, art, and most of all, her shoes. Imelda treasured her shoes more than anything. The museum is located in Manila, the capital of the Philippines. Imelda was known to travel worldwide in search of shoes. When Mrs. Marcos was traveling in luxury, there were millions of citizens living in the Philippines who were in extreme poverty.

** Each pair of shoes known to be owned by Imelda was size eight-and-a-half. They were also mostly made by either Ferragamo, Chanel, Givenchy, and Christian Dior.

Imelda Marcos once said, " Filipinos don't wallow in what is miserable and ugly. They recycle the bad into things of beauty"
