Shoe lovers should hoof it to Manchester, New Hampshire, for Killer Heels: The Art of the High-Heeled Shoe, a smash hit from the Brooklyn Museum that’s making its sole New England stop at the Currier Museum of Art through May 15. The exhibition features some 150 heels spanning more than three centuries, including stop-you-in-your-tracks specimens like this Blade Heel from London’s Chau Har Lee, glass slippers by Maison Martin Margiela, balletic fetish fantasies from Christian Louboutin, badass boots by rock ’n’ roll cobbler Terry de Havilland and artist and MIT prof Sputniko!’s Healing Fukushima heels, which plant radioactivity-absorbing seeds with every step.
