National Museum of Women in the Arts
Founded in 1987, NMWA is the only major museum in the world
solely dedicated to recognizing women's creative contributions. By bringing to
light remarkable women artists of the past while also promoting the best women
artists working today, the museum directly addresses the gender imbalance in
the presentation of art in the U.S. and abroad, thus assuring great women
artists a place of honor now and into the future.
NMWA preserves and displays a collection of 4,500 objects, presents world-class exhibitions of women artists each year, programs top quality events, including concerts, films, staged readings, and more.
