Bonn Women's Museum

The Bonn Women's Museum is an art museum that focuses on works by female artists and houses an extensive collection of paintings, photographs, sculptures, and documentary materials. The exhibition spaces present a broad range of artistic techniques and media from different periods.

The museum was founded in 1981 and was at that time the first museum worldwide dedicated entirely to the art of women. This founding marked a turning point in the recognition of female artistic achievements in the museum landscape.

The museum displays works by female artists such as Käthe Kollwitz and Maria Lassnig, representing diverse perspectives and experiences of women in art. The collections allow visitors to experience directly the range of artistic expressions and their social meaning.

The building is centrally located in Bonn and is easily reached by public transport. The exhibition spaces are accessible without barriers and offer enough space to walk around and view the works at leisure.

The museum operates a specialized library and archive focused on women's art, feminism, and cultural politics of the 20th and 21st centuries. This collection is regularly used by researchers and students and is one of the few of its kind in Europe.
