Bonn Women's Museum

It was founded in 1981 by Marianne Pitzen (the current director) and an interdisciplinary group of working women, and claims to be the first museum of its kind in the world.

[1] It hosts temporary exhibitions (over 500 since its founding) and accompanying events, and is run by the society "Women's Museum – Art, Culture, Research".

Furthermore, women's history is examined in the context of new experimental art and through the events which accompany the exhibitions.

[1] The museum's own collection includes works by Käthe Kollwitz, Katharina Sieverding, Valie Export, Maria Lassnig, and Yoko Ono.

The museum's academy organises meetings, seminars, workshops and advice services on topics of interest to female artists.
