A one-of-a-kind museum exhibition on bags will be showing in Basel, Switzerland until early April. We're going tomorrow. Hope other TPFers will see it too!

Thanks for sharing this. I wish I could go! At least there are photos and a video on the museum’s website. The two most eye-catching bags to me were the huge cake handbag (hideous! ) and the green handgun-shaped bag (not ideal for concealed carry, lol ).

@Passerine123 please let us know your impressions of the exhibit.

 

[Passerine123]

Yes, took tons of photos and bought the catalogs. Loved it. But for hideous, nothing beat the bag completely lined with real human teeth. Gross!! Will post a full report later in the week.

On a sidenote the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (V&A) is putting on exhibition called Bags: Inside Out from the 25 April:

If you're near London or visiting, it may a good one to pop into.

I would love to see it in person. The pics are great. They put together an amazing variety of one-of-a kind pieces, historical examples, and modern icons.
