The famous handbag museum is best explored in an hour, meandering through the excellent exhibits . Be sure to have a close look at the intricately beaded bags, and the art deco lucites.

richard bolk

the lunchroon is really a hidden gem in town ,... and men that fear this museum did you know MEN were the first to wear a purse ! so give it the benefit of the doubt and you’ll be surpriced like me

Fun, beautifully-presented and well-edited collection, can do in an hour or so. Wish we'd come hungry, the cafe space is gorgeous and no one seems to know about it so it's quiet .

Nice exhibition . but the modern part is small so don't expect inspiration for purchases, rather a historic overview. The building is beautiful and the dining place in the middle is nice and quiet .

Dess Stoichkova

Nice museum with nicer staff . The coffee floor is pretty, cozy , stylish and it's a pleasure to spend time looking the garden .

Brian Dammeir

Good, small museum with dedicated staff . If you have a museum card don't hesitate, if you're paying out of pocket you better like purses . Great cafe inside.

Scott Lawrence

If you have a wife or girlfriend who loves purses , definitely take her here. My wife (who doesn’t really like museums ) really enjoyed this one.

Great museum ! The must see for a girl/woman! :) the shop has some really great bags from Netherland's designers available.

Keira Poland

Start on the top floor, then work your way down. Great collection of designer bags! And check out the dining rooms just because.

Fatma Genc

Follow history and culture through purses and bags. A new pount of view in your daily wardrobe.

The Museum of Bags & Purses . You have to go -- just to tell your friends there's such a place and that you've been there!

Sabine (Your Ambassadrice) de Witte

Surprising exhibitions , to die for bags and perfect location for a high tea

Andreas Nellas

Small collection. Really nice coffee place . Most interesting thing was the building itself (built in 1665).

Andre Friedel

If I can remember right, as I was enjoying all the local 'flavor', this museum was interesting for the 'modern handbag ' enthusiasts... Or basically if you're a girl. Beautiful in architecture !!

De lunch is zeer goedkoop en lekker. Nu gratis entree met museumkaart, kun je gelijk doorlopen om te lunchen (en daarna nog wat mooie tassen te bekijken).

Очень прикольно! Хорошо описана история эволюции сумок в каждом зале - интересно

Hiç gerek yok. Gelmeyin. Müze kartınız varsa 15 dk yeter. Girişteki ortayaşlı görevli teyzişler çok yardımseverler o ayrı:)
