Women's Museum Istanbul

Founded in 2012, this institution became Turkey's first women's museum and the third such museum worldwide dedicated to female accomplishment. This founding represented an important step in recognizing women's contributions in the region.

The museum presents stories of women who made choices that differed from conventional social expectations, offering insight into how women shaped their communities. These narratives reveal the social and economic shifts that occurred in Turkish society over time.

The digital platform is accessible in Turkish, English, German, and Italian languages through its website. You can explore exhibitions from any location with internet access.

Each exhibition includes contextual information about the social, economic, and political circumstances that shaped the lives of the women featured. This contextual approach helps visitors understand the challenges and possibilities of each era.
