It is a means of transportation, a useful companion or a status symbol and an object of desire. They are available in countless designs and for the most diverse occasions - whether for shopping, work, sport, traveling or as an evening companion. No other item is always at hand as soon as we leave the house and carries everything we need on the go: THE BAG.
In a multifaceted exhibition, the German Leather Museum delves into the cultural history of the bag as a globally used commodity, fashion item and luxury good. Over 200 exhibits spanning three millennia, from ancient Egyptian leather bags, medieval belt bags and the first travel bags from the 19th century to practical rucksacks, elegant handbags and a shopping bag made of biodegradable plastic, tell the story of one of the oldest and most versatile accessories of mankind in the exhibition, which runs until August 10: THE BAG.
