 The
Purse and The Person: A Century of Women’s Purses. Developed from a private collection of over 3,000
purses and accessories, this exhibition looks at purses from the inside
out, examining day-to-day life reflected in a very personal, very
female artifact cache -- a woman’s handbag. Also examines
iconic women of the 20th century, from the Edwardian matron to the
Superwoman of recent decades. Closes March 30th.
