The world's largest handbag museum is located in Amsterdam and began as a collection started by the museum's manger's mother, Hendrikje. This collection now includes about 3,500 handbags, ranging from pouches worn in the Middle Ages to current Designer bags.
The Amsterdam Tassen Museum is one of only 3 museums devoted to handbags in the world and the history of the bag parallels the evolution of mankind and reflects the era of it's creation. Bags are exhibited ranging from a simple goatskin bag worn hanging from the belt to adorned and beaded bags carried by rich ladies to show off their wealth and status.
