This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the Tassenmuseum, a handbag museum, which showcases a fascinating history of handbags, from ancient examples to quirky modern designs

Highlights: The museum's collection, which included handbags shaped like cupcakes, a cheetah's head and Charlie Chaplin, was quite amusing. My son was particularly interested in learning about the history of handbags and how they were once worn by men as well ✨
