Conveniently located near the tram stop and with huge sign posts marking out its location, the Tassen Museum (Museum of Bags and Purses for us English speaking folk) ' hosts a collection of 3,000 bags and purses from designer to contemporary to vintage. A girls dream you suppose, well not quite.
My mind was racing with the endless thought of bags, big, small, ivory gold, Valentino & Versace I arrive at the door, take a deep breath and walk in to find…no less than 20 pensioners in the small foyer bumbling about, its probably just one group I say as I purchase the ticket giving me access to explore 3 floors of bags.
So, I start from the 3rd floor down and on every floor there’s a hoard of pensioners with a guide who bellowed out information to her flock. Not the ideal setting to enjoy the fine collection so unfortunately I didn’t spend much time reading the very helpful and informative posts regarding the different eras, styles and materials. .
Not being allowed to take pictures (except the building and gift shop?) I am not able to fully share my experience with you but I did manage to get a snap in the staircase, gift shop and THE CHAMPAGNE BAG
