About the National Women’s History Museum
For more than two decades the National Women’s History Museum has researched, collected and exhibited women’s contributions to our nation’s social, cultural, economic, and political life. We engage people with our interactive website, online and physical exhibits, education programs, live presentations, and social media to ensure we tell those stories. We believe the nation deserves a world-class museum on the National Mall in Washington, DC that shows the full scope of women’s contributions to our nation’s history and brings those into a prominent place in national discussions. A place where visitors can expand their understanding of women’s roles and leave with a complete view of American history.
