Museums — IAWM

Vital spaces for visibility, education, and cultural transformation.

IAWM monitors and connects women’s museums worldwide, including physical and virtual institutions as well as emerging initiatives. This global network strengthens visibility and exchange.

There has to be a women’s museum in every country of this world.

– Shirin Ebadi, Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize (2003) and official godmother of IAWM
