- Cynthia DrescherApril 4, 2013The 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 bolkApril 20, 2014the 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
Dasha 👻 ShigaevaOctober 20, 2014Nice 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.- Nico PitneyJune 21, 2014Fun, 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.
Scott LawrenceSeptember 8, 2018If 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.
Brian DammeirAugust 21, 2016Good, 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.
Dess StoichkovaMay 29, 2016Nice museum with nicer staff. The coffee floor is pretty, cozy, stylish and it's a pleasure to spend time looking the garden.
Keira PolandFebruary 24, 2014Start on the top floor, then work your way down. Great collection of designer bags! And check out the dining rooms just because.
Lucy ODecember 14, 2012Great museum! The must see for a girl/woman! :) the shop has some really great bags from Netherland's designers available.

Sabine (Your Ambassadrice) de WitteOctober 28, 2018Surprising exhibitions, to die for bags and perfect location for a high tea
Andre FriedelApril 5, 2010If 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!!
A CApril 1, 2014The Museum of Bags & Purses. You have to go -- just to tell your friends there's such a place and that you've been there!
Andreas NellasJanuary 26, 2014Small collection. Really nice coffee place. Most interesting thing was the building itself (built in 1665).
