The Vagina Museum was founded by Florence Schechter in response to a lack of gynaecological representation within the culture and heritage sector throughout the world.

The museum usually hosts two temporary exhibitions per year which explore a multitude of topics surrounding gynaecological health, social history, activism and discourse, as well as an events programme of talks, workshops, comedy, theatre and performance art.

We are therefore incredibly excited that the Vagina Museum is seeking to establish in Camden, and hope that it is funded to provide an inclusive and intersectional centre for learning, creativity, activism, and outreach that will add immeasurably to our collective understanding of our bodies.

This exhibition was scheduled to end on 29 March 2020, but closed a few days earlier due to national lockdown restrictions in the UK.

In October 2024, to mark Black History Month, the Museum announced that the galleries would be named after the "Mothers of Gynecology", Anarcha, Lucy and Betsey.
