I saw ads for this on the subway. Anyone been there? @.@

Quote:
The basement and the first and second floors house a caf�, a museum gift shop, a multi-brand shop and Simone�s own bag shop, as well as a DIY shop where customers can try their hand at making their own bags, and a massive leather shop for those who wish to buy original materials, including real alligator swatches priced around ₩1,250,000 (US$1,100).

�Many of the guests spend hours reading the captions, and some even write down all their questions and then come and ask us at the end,� says head curator Dawn Chung. �Even the men.�

It�ll probably still be difficult to get a man to darken the doors. �It�s only natural that men tend to keep away from such a feminine topic,� laughs Chung.

As one of our male acquaintances put it: �It�s ridiculous that a handbag museum exists in the first place. I�m never ever taking my girlfriend there. She�ll just get ideas.�

My initial reaction is: WTF? How materialistic can these airhead Korean girls be?!

My next reaction is: I'd go to a watch museum; what's the big deal if someone wants to go to a handbag museum, and why does that make them an airhead?

My final reaction is: *shrug* Live and let live.
