MUSEUM OF BAGS AND PURSES

If you thought museums were boring, you have a new think coming! The Museum of Bags and Purses is, as the name suggests, is dedicated to the history of bags, purses, and other accessories. Home to over 5,000 pieces that date as far back as the 16th century, the museum sits inside a mayoral house over the Amsterdam canal.

From the most popular to the most unique kinds of bags, the museum has everything - bridal purses, coin purses, evening bags, satchels - you name it. Experience the evolution of purses and bugs unfurl before you and depicted by the change of fashion, design, and craftsmanship. Explore these evolutionary and artistic designs as a part of our Europe tour package.

One of the most intriguing places to see in Amsterdam, the museum essentially takes something as seemingly trivial as a handbag, and turns it into a mind-boggling curation of fashion pieces. 

Timing: Open from 10:00 AM to 05:00 PM everyday

Location: Herengracht 573, 1017 CD Amsterdam
