Do you appreciate a finely crafted purse? Do you drool over the latest hot handbags? Or do you secretly collect fashionable vintage bags? If you're crazy about purses, than you'll definitely want to check out the newly reopened Museum of Bags and Purses in Amsterdam.

The museum's collection boasts over 3,000 bags which shows the history of women's bags and pocketbooks in Western culture from the 16th century to today. The collection not only showcases passing fads, but also shows what people carried with them, how society changed, and how the role of women changed throughout the centuries.
