AMSTERDAM: Shopaholics rejoice! Purse museum opens
 Do
you collect purses the way Imelda Marcos collected shoes? If so, you'll want to
plan a trip to the newly reopened Museum
of Bags and Purses in Amsterdam.
The collection started when its founder, an
antiques dealer, bought a handbag from 1820. The collection gradually grew to
more than 3,000 bags. At first it was housed in a two-room villa, but in June
it relocated to a 17th century house in central Amsterdam on the Herengracht canal.
